[QUOTE="Shooter00, post: 1591196, member: 4910"] So after a bit of hiatus, I dusted off the reloading gear for the old .300 WM. I had a disaster sighting in for elk a couple of years ago, bad powder/load combo and -17 degrees didn't work out too well, so back to the bench. I'm working on a 168gr Barnes TSX with IMR 4831, CCI 250 LMR. After two dozen rounds, stepping up every .5 grs, with some OAL adjustment, I still can't get under 1 MOA. I know my rifle is capable, the load that didn't work in the hills ran great down here, 3/4" groups at 200 (I have the pics to prove it!). I did put the factory stock back on, [COLOR="red"] -my question is - [/COLOR] can that change open those groups up that much? I have a Mcmillan fiberglass stock thats floated and receiver bedded, the stock stock is a Boyt that has minimal bedding, and not too much float. I'm really needing to get to the bottom of this lack of accuracy, and I don't want to spend a lot of time and $$$ scattering bullets downrange for nothing. What to do?? Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
