Sorry for leaving out the details. Yes you were correct it is a .30-06 and it is scoped. It has a Simmons Whitetail classic scope. I will attemt 180 Nosler BT a try this weekend and see how that works. I have not tried RE19 I have been trying IMR4895 and H4831 along with H4350. These have always been very good for my other guns in the same caliber. I have also cleaned it well removing the copper fouling. After measuring (using a sinclair tool) the throught seems to be very short. The bullet must be seated in pretty far to be off the lands, maybe this is causing my problems. This rifle might end up on the sale page before long! I hate to sell a gun but if it wont shoot I aint keeping it.
