Thread: .308 ammunition advice

Some rifles just don't shoot well.
My mate had ruger m77 mk1 243 that a gunsmith rebarrelled into a 308 and bedded the action. He spent years trying to sort a load for it but it was never any good.
I fought with it for awhile to help him out. Fixed and sorted out heaps of if issues with it (bedding, reloads, mounts, scope and suppressor(on or off) and the typical ruger binding mag box etc) and got it shooting a tight 3 shot group at 100m everytime. As soon as you fired a 4th or more shots it would group like shit until dead cold again. I'm guessing it had something to do with the action/barrel not being true/quite right.
Thankfully he sold that rifle and bought a new rifle that shot mint from the box (tikka ).
Some headaches just aren't worth hanging onto.
