You betcha. I don't really plan to use their stuff though. Looking out for Varget here. Cheers. I see Varget regularly. Guncrafter's in Salem had several pounds last week. P

My first guess, though would be your Sightron scope. Spend $200 bucks for a Leupold VX-1 and throw that POS away. Thank me later.  I'll take a Sightron Big Sky any day over a Leupold VX 1, 2, or 3... Yup. Totally agree. Very under appreciated optics IMO.

Accuracy problem solved. I switched to a Minox 3x9 scope and hunting accuracy is back. Groups ran 2 1/4" using imr4064 and 154 sst reloads.
Accuracy improved with H380 powder and the new scope. 43 gr of h380 pushing 154 sst grouped 1.05 and 1.33. I accept that for this Mossberg timber hunting rifle

So not sure if it was scope or new powder?
Your shots must be close...
Good luck!

Try a box of Barnes 120gr TTSX factory. They shoot so good in my Sako 708 that I don't bother reloading.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

Glad you got things worked out.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

You betcha. I don't really plan to use their stuff though. Looking out for Varget here. Cheers. Big Game is da bomb with 120's; I've been hoarding my last pound. Good to hear it's inbound. Now if WW will just actually do that run of 7 WSM brass they teased us with... OP: you are describing my first 7-08 to a "T". It'd do ok with heavy bullets (150's in my case) but throw horizontal flyers big time with anything lighter. Exhausted the usual suspects, finally just rebarreled it.
The CENTER will hold.

I got 16 pounds of each last week (I already had a jug of each). ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zpseo5pnb1s.jpeg) Big Game is the only powder I use for my 7mm-08s. P

I reload and cant really stand factory ammo BUT when I purchase a new or new-to-me firearm:
I clean it (new rifles get a breakin period)
mount a scope I know is fine
Finally I shot a quality box of factory ammo
There are certain lines of ammo I won't shoot. Once you've figured out the issue, start loading cause now I'll have a whole new set of issues to deal with:
Powder
Charge
Primer
Bullet
Seating depth
What is a tack driver in one rifle might not be so in another one.
Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can

I'd bet $10 to your dime that 42-43gr of Varget & a 140BT will get you into DRT territory real quick, provided you have absolute confidence in the scope. I'm Leupold 100% though.
Primers and seating depth are the next two steps.
Good shooting.
