I recently got a new rifle in 30-06 and was shooting some reasonable 1.5 moa (100 yd) groups with Federal Powershocks.
I had also had some surplus POF 30-06. I didn't expect it to be super accurate but was surprised by how bad it was. The groups opened up to ~8 in at 100 yards. Is this typical for surplus ammo? A result of bad storage over the years? Uneven Loading? I am really just curious what the physics are that cause the point of impact to change so much round to round.
