22-250 accuracte load trouble

[Shane in WI]

I see my mistake now. Yes, I meant 3/8" groups with the 30-06 and the 338wm rifles. They both shoot good and I didn't have to work near as hard to find a load they liked. Last night I loaded up some 40grain V-max and some 52 grain match BTSP bullets w/ Varget to try Saturday. I'm not thinking that it's my shooting, but anything is possible. Been working on this rifle off and on for several years and just can't get real tight groups with it. Seems to have groups, rather than patterns, but all the combinations show up about the same. Whe I tried Benchmark, I used a whole # of powder testing and retesting loads to see if what I was loading and shooting repeated the groups and they did. Only tried H4350 to see if a very different powder would affect things, didn't make much difference. It is a wood stock and like I mentioned after problems I floated the barrel. I am not able to load the bullets out to near the lands as the lands are to far out. Bullet would only be into the neck by 1/16" and the magazine isn't near long enough for that. I tried it alittle, but didn't make much difference.
Thanks for the idea's.
