I bought a Rem 338 Lap, looked like a nice rifle. I took it to the range, broke it in, after 20 individual rounds, and cleaned in between, I got to shoot my first group. Well I wasn't impressed with the 4 inch group it turned out with Hornady factory ammo so I grabbed a box of Double Tap 300 gr SMK. They did about 2 inches. Ok so at this point I wasn't impressed. I got my bushing match dies out and started loading. The best individual group at 100M was .388 five shot group. This was Lapua brass, 250 Scenar, 88gr. RL19 COL 3.624. I took this out to 1080M and it shot 9 inches which is approximately .8MOA. Not bad. The temperature warmed up and the same load wont shoot 1.5 inches now. I pulled the scope, put it on a 308 that is a tack driver and verified the scope doesn't have issues. The rifle has shot anywhere from sub half MOA to 12" groups at 100M most groups over 4". I have fired 255 rounds out of the rifle. It is the most finicky rifle Ive ever messed with. I have checked all the tensions and the only thing left is the barrel. Has anyone else had such poor luck with this one?
