Not too bad for a stock 700 BDL

[Layton]

No big deal I know but considering this was a pawn shop find for $300 almost new. It's a 30-06 and ended up liking this load the most so far.

168g Berger VLD Target
60g IMR4831

Not bad play around with the torque setting on your rear action screw they may tighten up quite a bit. See what the torque is on the rear action screw go down 5in pounds and then 5in pounds above and see if there is any change in group size.

Looks like it has potential, show us some 5 round groups.

Still gonna build that Sako M995 as that still my favorite action. Gonna try again tomorrow with 5 shot groups now. Also gonna try some Berger 175 VLDs.

I'll try torquing the action screw. LOL, and I just tested the trigger pull. It breaks at 7lbs.

Best 5 shot group after lightening the trigger and sanding down the barrel channel. I think the rifle will do better once I get it settled back down. I only had 20 rounds to play with today.
