I love to shoot it and that’s part of the reason why I didn’t just throw my hands up and trade it in on something else. I think I can get it to group tighter when the barrel is a little cooler and it’s not 102° outside with a +3000DA.

Took it to the range yesterday after mounting my new Leupold VX5HD and put some rounds through it. Best group was what is pictured below and after subtracting .264, it measures .775 MOA. This group was with the 140gr Accubond so I’m pleased with that.

Update: I’ve been working with Nosler quite a bit since I received the email that I had pasted on to this thread. Extremely long story short, they agreed to lightly relap the barrel and re-shoot the gun which produced no difference in performance with either the 140gr Accubond or the 142ABLR...

They’re still working on it and I should know the final outcome by the middle of this week. Ready for this to be over with.

Sorry for going MIA on this but I’ve been waiting to see how this plays out before updating the post. I sent the rifle back to Nosler on April 30th and they still have it. Needless to say, it’s taken quite a bit longer than I had anticipated for them to figure this out. The representative...

No it doesn’t and they’ve been fantastic to work with so far. I spoke to them this morning and they’re sending me a shipping label and a form to fill out so it’ll hopefully be going back tomorrow. The Ruger is a good little gun and it’s always been a good shooter. I’m glad it shoots well...

Was finally able to find a box of 142gr Accubond LR and took it to the range today. Put about 1/2 a box through it and the groups did not improve at all. I brought along my .308 just to make sure the issue wasn’t me and the targets below are the best I could do in each gun. The first picture...

Changed the scope over to my Ruger M77 Compact and shot a box of cheap 150gr Federal Soft Points. Only had one box for it and was a little pressed for time so the target below was the best 3 shot group after getting it close to being dead on. Going to head back to the range on Sunday to get...

I’m going to head to the range tomorrow with the same scope and one of my .308s and hopefully this will be the issue. I did speak with their customer service and they were very helpful and showed a lot of willingness to help and they’re going to expedite some ammo that I ordered a while ago...

So I took my new Nosler Western Rifle (chambered in 26 Nosler)to the range yesterday to perform the barrel break-in procedure. I went through two boxes of Nosler Custom Competition 140gr and was not able to get it to shoot sub 2” groups which is very frustrating. I had a Leupold VAR-X III...
