I think i am getting somewhere . I am trying I have used factory loads and handloads have good equipment

[Nightstalker6117]

is that with different brands of ammo or just 1. Try some Rem 100gr Corelokts mine llikes those and fed Vitalshoks 100 gr. .... Quicktadoo always tells people to try the Fusions but I have yet to try those oh and also if you want something a little heavier try the Hornady 117 SSTs. Just a thought also if it is all different brands or actually before you do make sure your scope and base are tight. Also make sure to clean the latch shelf with some alcohol before you go out. Good luck I LOVE mine.

I've never tried Fusion in my 25-06, in fact I've shot handloads in it yet, the Federal 115gr Nosler Partition and Hornady 117gr BTSP both shoot 2 shots touching or real close to it, then the third opens the group up to about 1" or so.

I haven't shot mine yet but all the good reload data that's been given me says the 117's work pretty good. Is it a new bbl have ya cleaned it done the breakin magic thats in the FAQ's? Kurt

[backhoe man]

It will do the same two touching then i get the flier no consistency.All other guns i have shoot less than 1 in groups .All are bolt action but this one should shoot better than it does.Yes i bought the gun new i have been reloading for better than 10 years

[Nightstalker6117]

My bad Quick ... I thought it was you       My memory is terrible I turned 30 this 2 weekends ago so all downhill from here LOL just kidding so far so good. Good luck Backhoe I think I may go try some of those 117 gr hornady's this weekend.

Backhoe man, see the FAQs, shoot it without the forend on, see if that helps, if it does, you need to work on bedding the forend, I don't worry about it, cuz I'll never in a million years need to shoot more that 2 shots at a deer or an antelope, the first one will do the trick, possibly a second for a double , so I've never been concerned.

Tim,

Thats the way I look at it too. That first shot from a cold barrel is what really counts. My 25.06 is a tack driver for 3 shots , even with me behind it. 

[backhoe man]

Ok its time to admit i am dumb as a rock when it comes to this computer. How do i get to the FAQ.

[stimpylu32]

Ok thanks guys i have read the FAQS have tried most of these things .I agree with quicktdoo in part. we all want our guns to shoot like bench rest guns. part of the fun is trying to get that one hole group. thats what i want to but everything i try dosent help at all just need more minds to help i am my wits end.again thanks for your input i am not giving up i know 2 long time machinests we will fix this

[backhoe man]

sorry about spelling and grammar not good on this thing better on backhoes and power lines

[bearbeater]

Hey
Have someone else shoot the rifle and see if the groups tighten up

[backhoe man]

bin there done that over 35 years playing with guns

[quickdtoo]

See the Handi Basics 101 too, that alone has saved some time and frustration for a lot of Handi shooters, from how you rest the forend and pull the trigger to making sure there's no oil on the latch and shelf and closing the action firmly, little things that make a big difference.
