All our loads are developed in the respective rifles mentioned above that data.
I do most of the shooting myself here in our underground shooting tunnel. I think this helps as we do not have to worry about wind, mirage and so on.
I have tried one of those Lahti rifle rests which are supposed to be the final word in accuracy. But did not find it as advertised. I can out shoot it anyday, regardless of caliber.
We normally do some checks on all our rifles before we shoot them. We adjust the trigger, re-bed the action, and sometimes even re-fit the barrel to the action.
We've had some rifles where the barrel is not aligned with the action at all.
Sometimes we get lucky and get a real gem - like that 300 RUM you mentioned. The only thing I did to it is adjust the trigger, otherwise it is as it came from the factory. It has an extremely good barrel, and very fast too.
We've had some rifles that would not even shoot a 3 inch group. Generally those are of European manufacture, made on cheap copies of the Mauser action, and have barrels that look like a railway junction on the inside!
When one comes in here now, the first thing I do is look at the barrel with a bore scope, and explain to whoever brought it in to better use it as a wall hanger - not shooter!

All rifles will have some throat errosion eventually, but the ones that use large amounts of powder in relatively small bores tend to errode much faster.
That is why I mentione this one and the 300 Pegasus, which is even worse.

Does your gun have iron sights?
If it does try shooting a group at 25 yds from a rest with iron sights. A very precision 3 shot group.
You should be able to get between .30-.40 size group.
Then move to 50 yds and do the same. You should be able to get between .6-.8
If you can I think you have scope mounting problems.
If you can't either send it to Remington or take it to a gunsmith and then have the action bedded and trigger adjusted to see what you get.
I would also suggest flitzing the bbl.

The sole purpose of a rifle is to please its owner
We use molly as supplied by NECO, and we use a large rotary tumbler in which I think you can put as many as 1000 168 MK bullets at a time.

I don't have iron sites, it is a Rem. 700 BDL SS. Think I am going to step back and start over, first by sending the Leupold scope back to be checked and next having Remington check out the gun. And if they send it back with tight groups, I don't mind that. I can always practice more with it. But when me and the smith looked at the barrel with a borescope, it was very rough. If remington don't help me, I will run Tubbs Final Finish thru it. One last thought is most all the data I see, people, gets the best results with the max loads for these guns. But yours seems to be in the middle of the spectrum. Do you think your they just are looking for speed.
