Hi im new to this and have just purchased a new 243wssm win model 70 stealth 2 and its best group is 2 inch at 100 yards factory load 95 gr and 100 gr can anybody help me :uhoh:
 
Hmmm. Where to start.

There is a lot of info that we're gonna need in addition to your post.

What kind of bench/position/rest/support are you shooting from.
 
I have the same gun and it shoots 75g bullets at 1/2" at 100 yds. Here are some things to consider:

1. I know my gun will not stabilize 107g bullets - maybe yours is struggling with 100g?

2. Try different factory loads - honestly this is a handload type of round

3. Make sure the barrel is free floated from the stock and check all screws for tightening
 
I agree, what is the bbl twist on yours? and the first thing I would try, without doing any tweeks to the rifle, get a lighter load or loads.
 
There are alot of factors that come in to play when you get a new gun and want it on the money, first buy a box of everything if you dont reload and see what shoots best, what you are shooting off of, wind, is you barrel free floated, Just going to have to have alot more info. I havnt ever shot one but i heard the super short magnums shoot pretty flat.
