Interesting video. I have a 7400 in .308 and it loves 150gr Winchester Super X's. It shoots a hair under 1" groups off a backpack rest at 100yds, it may shoot better but I can't in that position. Have you tried any copper bullets like Barnes? I don't particularly like the Winchester's performance on deer and was thinking of trying Barnes this season

I tried the Hornady GMX bullets but had same results. . . . MOA of softball. There is something here about velocity and pressure to be learned. I think a mild charge of imr 4895 with a 150g bullet producing less pressure and lower velocity is what these guns will want.

Do the auto loaders damage cases very bad? I inherited a m 742 .30-06 but I haven’t used anything except Remington 180 corelokts. Shoots so so groups with those.

Everyone says these rifles shoot "MOA of deer". I get decent groups, but I am finding that the shorter the barrel- the lighter the bullet. As far as chewed up brass well I have learned that shooting too hot or heavy of a load A LOT can wear the spring and action on these things out. I try to run original. IMR 4895 powder and whatever bullets the gun likes.

Your results are what I experienced at that velocity with 30:06. Interested in 1" groups get in touch.

Try heavy 180. 200 or 220s. Mine hates 150s.

How often do you clean the chamber

@jabsoutdoors3859 5 жыл бұрын

I cleaned the chamber after each 3 shot group.

I cleaned between each group of bullets. I will say my 742 woodsmaster in 30-06 is holding better groups. Video coming on that one.

@jabsoutdoors3859 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the delay. . .it wasnt much of a group at all. 1.72" . . . . . I have a 742 woodsmaster in 30-06 that shoots circles around the 7400 308. . . .video coming.
