my gun will not shoot boattail bullets - 07/22/10
My main deer gun is an old rem 700 25-06. It was my father�s main gun for many years and I have been using it for about 12 or 13 years myself. I think dad bought it in about '73 or '74
It has had about a million rounds put through it. (I might be exaggerating a little :))
Anyway it refuses to shoot any boattail bullets with any kind of accuracy. Will not shoot Nosler partitions. Sprays them all over the target, like 6 or 8 inch groups at 100
It absolutely loves sierra 100gn flat base soft points (prohunter) easily sub MOA, very consistent
It also shoots 87 gr hornady varmints well.
Not really a big deal because these bullets suit my needs fine but was wandering why it will not shoot the boattails?
Worn throat?
