[QUOTE="jparizona, post: 1998321, member: 30941"] My 300 Win Mag shoots 180 grain Hornady on IMR-4831with CCI 250 Mag primers under MOA every day, no problems. Most 3 and 5 shot groups result in 1 raged hole. It has a Shilen barrel on an Interarms action in a Brown Precision Stock. The combination is so easy to load for I am surprised you are having problems with loads and/or rifle. My experience with accuracy problems in the 300 Win Mag have never been load problems. As others have said, start with the scope, 1st the mounts then the scope its self. I know of several people that had to send scopes in for repair when shooting the 300WM. That is especially true in lighter weight rifles, the 300WM can be brutal on scopes if the rifle is on the lighter side. The next thing is bedding and factory bedding can be excellent but not always. I have had to redo the bedding on several factory bedding jobs in order to get the rifle shooting. Sometimes it is as easy as removing the action from the stock, cleaning the action screws and threaded holes to make sure there is no debris (metal chips etc.) left from machining. Reinstall and torque the action screws to spec. If it still won't group it is probably time to send it back to the factory. [/QUOTE]
