I recently acquired a Sauer 90 Cal 300Wby Mag which made it the 6th Sauer in my hunting rifle collection. All other Sauers I managed to get down to 1/2 Moa with pet loads, even the 375H&H with a light weight barrel.
The 300Wby hovers around the MOA at 100m with some/few hand loads HOWEVER I can not get it to group sub 3-4 MOA at 200m no matter what I do. Re-bedded it twice and used at least 7 different bullets incl. match bullets- no luck, can't get it to shoot.
A friend recently bought a cheap 308 CZ varminter and is experiencing the same problem. Shoots ok at 100 but 3-4 inch at 200?
What could be the problem?
Tension in the barrel/Bad barrel? Why does it shoot okayish at 100m though?
