Good day Gents and Ladies ( if there are any)
I recently bought a lovely 30-06 CZ 550. not sure which model( lux,etc), and I love the rifle. bought it with a Leopold VX 2 scope which i replace with a Redfield revenge 6x18x50. i just cannot seem to get the rifle to group consistently smaller that 1/2" at 100yards.
I use Sellor and Belliotte Cases as well as primers. The powder of choice is S365 which as close to H4350 ( we only get Somchem powder in this neck of the woods) and have tried Sierra prohunter 180g, Nosler partition 168g Nosler competition 168 and I just bought Sierra Gameking 180g.
I know that each rifle has its own formula for the perfect load, however I would like some guidelines and load data from others with the same rifle.
attached are two picture of shots taken when I just got the rifle with loads I developed myself, but i have not been able to replicate it ever since.
For the record, I am not new to handloading and have all the basics covered with regard to safety, and what not to do.
Kind regards
