Time for a new barrel..what would you go with?
I highly recommend McGowen barrels regardless of what caliber you decide to go with. I just rebarreled a 30-06 with one of there barrels and I haven’t shot over a 1” group at 100 yet. My best group was .393”. -

Federal Fusion vs. Hornady Interlock

Lot # Factory Ammo Accuracy?
I’ve noticed big differences in different lots of factory ammo. I once tested a federal gold 6.5 creedmoor and got great sub moa accuracy out of the one box I tried. Bought a case of 200 to use as my hunting ammo for years to come and accuracy was diminished. I noticed the lot I originally tried...- Orlandy
