Thanks.Eric

Basically I doubt if it will ever shoot MOA. Few if any Rem. autoloaders ever have. If you can get it to shoot five rounds into 2" @ 100 yards, yours is better than most! In my M1, I found 47 grains of IMR 4064 with the Sierra 165-grain PSPBT (and also the 168-grain Sierra Match King) and Fed. 210 primers in FA '59 Match brass to be the most accurate load - it would put 6 or 7 of the M1's 8 rounds into 1" @ 100 yards, then always threw one of the 8 out into the 9 ring! Not always the same shot of the eight either!
