[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3157531, member: 15054"] I met a guy and he wanted to go shooting with me and invited me to a range in norman that had some berms and he told me he had this 30-06 that had been to 2 gunsmiths and was told the barrel is shot out and needs replaced 8" groups at best at 100 yards. He said normally it was 12" at 100 and best to keep it under 50 yards. He and the 2 gunsmiths tried to get it to shoot with handloads and factory ammo. I told him bring it with him when we go shooting. He did and I put a target up at 50 yards and cloverleafed the rounds. 3 shots. I then stuck the paper at 100 and shot about .9" group. He wanted a go at it as he was a bench rest shooter anyway and he printed 3 shots in under .75" group at 100 yards. I told him looks to shoot fine to me. He wanted the recipe if I did not mind giving it to him. That was the Hornady 3031 bullet with 52gr IMR4064 in annealed and prepped R-P cases with cci 200 primers. I have no idea if that bullet has changed back to what it was when I started first shooting it. I would not mind trying some loads in your mossberg and checking crown and checking the throat vs my 30-06. [/QUOTE]
