I purchased one several months ago in 30-06. It shoots ok 1" @ 100 with Factory Norma Whitetail 180GR. That is all I could find that wasn't priced through the roof. I have not stretched it past that or had time to work up a load. My plan is to use Speer SPBT in 150GR not sure about powder.

I have one in 280 ackley. Shoots factory 160 accubond about 3/4”. I was able to work up a load that is closer to 1/2”. I wouldn’t call it a 1/2” gun but it is certainly a 3/4” gun. I wouldn’t trade it for a large sum of money.

@RONIN79 I have not done anything to the rifle other than mount the scope.

I hope I can get this one to shoot 1/2-3/4" with handloads. I am sure this one will get some action next deer season but my Deep South Rifle in .308 is hard to put down.

I wanted one in 280 Ackley but the brass was hard to find so the 06 came home with me. Brass seems to be less expensive and I have about 5-600 of the Speer 150GR bullets. Also have several hundred Sierra 165GR HPBT Game Kings that do well out of my .308.

I would like to find a few extra Magazines but have not looked too hard for them.
