Alright, I tweeked the bedding a little more and messed with the torque on the middle action screw. Sadly, I was in a hurry today and grabbed the wrong box of ammo (actually empty brass), that I thought was my partial box of180gr Nosler partitions. So I only shot the 180gr Winchester power point load and the 200gr Nosler partition load. That 200gr Partition load has always worked damned well in all of my other 30-06 rifles. I've also shot elk with it. I refer to it as my "elk load". Here are the results from today. Cut it short because I had to meet with someone about 20 acres I want to buy.
180gr Winchester power point. Load worked up for '56 fwt:
200gr Nosler partition. Load worked up in m1917 enfield and '56 fwt and 6 digit classic:
It was windy today, but it was pretty steady when I shot the 200gr load. I think the rifle is showing some promise. Should be elk capable..
