280 Remington, 700 BDL, 162 SPBT Hornady Interlock, 53 grains IMR4350, 0.19 MOA - second group .82 MOA same load, third group 1.33 MOA same load - .78 MOA average
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 150 Nosler PT, WLR, 56 grains IMR4350, 0.72 MOA - second group .87 MOA - favorite load

280 Remington, 700 BDL, 139 Hornady Interlock, 54 grains IMR4350, 0.62 MOA
280 Remington, 700 BDL, 120 Hornady Hollow Point, 52 grains H414, 0.88 MOA - 2ea. 5 shot groups - I stopped using this as I found H414 to be sensitive to temperature
This rifle is accurate with most loads, the largest group out of normal (not hot) loads was 1.34 MOA (154 Grain Hornady Interlock & 53 grains IMR4350- the second group with this load was .88 MOA though???)
Exceptions see below:
I loaded a couple loads too hot, and the groups got large - 55 Grains IMR4350 and 154 grain Interlocks & 154 grain SST's*, the groups were as large as 2.65 MOA with these two too hot loads.
*I stopped using SST's when I had poor bullet performance in my 25-06. I sold 10 boxes (different calibers) that I had for a dime on the dollar, and I warned people when they bought them of my disgust with the bullets.
