Re: Is UMC Ammo This Terrible? To anyone coming upon this thread at a later date, I think I might have found the issue. The Remington UMC ammo uses 150gr bullets that are extremely short (low BC). The Lapua ammo, on the other hand, reaches out much further. My theory is that the lands on...

Re: Is UMC Ammo This Terrible? So it looks like the ammo shoots particularly bad in my rifle for some reason. I bought 3 boxes of it, but I'm gonna have to retire them early. Too bad, really.

Re: remington 700 tactical 308 questions You could grab a Tikka T3 for the same price. It would likely shoot better out of the box. I picked up an SPS varmint a few years back thinking that I would build on it, but gunsmiths are so expensive that I'll just end up buying a custom action for...

I just got done shooting 6" groups with this ammo @ 100y. (I was using the .308 version) I never imagined that ammo could be this terrible; at 600y the shots were all over the 36" target I was shooting at. After panicking that something just had to be wrong with my rifle and nearly caving...

Re: shots going right rifle going left I have the original problem that the opener stated. Bipod will always hop and the rifle torques to the left. I gave up on the bipod since it blossomed my groups to over an inch but I'd like to be able to go back. I tried loading but it didn't work so...

Re: dealing with heartbeat Prone, with a bipod, I've never noticed much heartbeat. Maybe your rifle's too far out of your shoulder pocket and contacting flesh instead of your collarbone. You might try being aware of the contact your cheek is exerting, as well. I don't shoot prone very...

Re: Remington 700 SPS Tactical .308 or Varmint .30 If you're serious about marksmanship and are willing to budget money over time to improve the rifle, I say go with the Varmint. You'll only likely keep the action in the end anyway. If not, the Tactical seems like a neater rifle. Short...

Re: Is there a really noticeable difference... From what I hear all those Remingtons are using the same barreled action minus the finish and contour. I think a stainless steel gun is worth the extra money, though. I just wouldn't count on one less groove making any difference.

Re: factory loads or reloads for "action" shooting???? $8/20 .308 ammo? Where'd you find that? Milsurp?
