[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 616516, member: 29174"] I have a Kimber 8400. It shoots about an inch with most loads @100yards and delivers a number of different loads to pretty close to the same spot which is nice. Mine is a 270WSM and will shoot better with Retumbo than any other powder.The 8400 is meant to be a carry rifle and is built light with a small barrel as previously noted. I have a Winchester M70 featherweight in 300wsm also, it shot about the same way until I had the action bedded. It now shoots sub MOA. As the barrel warmed the bullet impact would move up and to the right, it no longer does that but the groups grow with barrel temperature. The Win M70 and Kimber are quite similar. One thing I would do is shoot some groups with a bipod at longer range like 3-400 yards while letting the barrel cool between shots and keeping the ammo at a stable temperature. You might be surprised at the results. Mine doesn't like being shot from a vise. [/QUOTE]
