I just picked up a Savage 110 30-06 Lefty (the most budget of budget model from the days of crappy colored varnish)
I have been looking for an accurate beater rifle for bad weather or loaning out. I have a nice old 110CL in 270 that does a quarter inch at 100 yards from a bench and have heard much praise about Savage accuracy so I thought this 30-06 would fit my need-
However, my groupings were atrocious with it- 3 or 4 inches... the only ammo i had was a hand me down box of hand loaded 30-06 (i know you shouldnt soot other peoples hand loads but...)
There were at least two bullet types in the box, and of the rounds shot, they were so hot the primers were plum flattened out-
never mind the variance in grain weight for the displaced accuracy, Im just wondering if loads that hot would also affect accuracy... any one know?
