I have one in 300WSM (model 85). I purchased 2 boxes of Winchester ammo with 180 gr. nosler accubonds. It pounds them into a moa group .Starting load development this fall.

I am loading for my buddy's 7mm Rem, he is shooting 150gr barnes TSX and they are flying really well, he did buy 200 rounds factory ammo and shot those to break it in, then we neck sized only those brass worked up his load he is very happy!

I have experienced no problems with factory ammo either- Winchester Supreme 180gr Accubonds and XP3's and now reloads of Accubonds in a Sako m75 GW 300WSM or 225gr ccuboond reloads in my Sako m75 GW 338-06AI.

As in my two Tikka T3 laminate stainless 270WSM - factory under 1" and reloads of 140gr Accubonds well under 0.5" groups.

Maybe try different ammo. Maybe give the barrel a good cleaning, check scope/rings setup for tightness.

If not those then maybe check tightness of receiver screws.

Hope that helps.

I am shooting a .260 in the grey wolf, well under 1moa with 140gr. vld bergers,also does very well with 129gr hornady's sp's 1moa or better. She likes the bergers a little slower and the hornadies a bit faster.

It also shoots 95gr V-max into one ragged hole at a 100yds. So all in all one darn good shooting rifle. .

6.5
