Hi guys, I recently purchased a custom built 300 wsm from a member on here and have had no luck with getting the loads to shoot right. It has a 1-8 twist 28" schneider barrel on a winchester action. He said he was running 180 smk with great success and 64gr imr 4831, i have experimented with multiple different weight powder of the 4831 and best group so far has been 5-6" at 100 yards 5 shots. This is in a rifle wich has been full blueprinted action from a reputable smith over in central or and i know this is not what i expected from a 2600.00 investment. My girlfriend already wants to kill me for buying the rifle so i have to make it shoot right to justify it, she hasnt caught wind of my new scope purchase yet and will kill me when she finds out if this rifle doesnt shoot. lol. Any suggestions?
Could it be the load?
Rifle only has like 60 rounds through it.
Factory trigger, could that be an issue?
It is full bedded so i dont think would be in the equation.
Please help before she kills me.
