Do you handload? I took my wife's .260 Mod 7 from 1.5 to 2" groups with factory ammo to an honest 5/8", 5 shot group with handloads without much effort.

We had owned the rifle for 15 years or so and I was never impressed with it's accuracy. I neck sized a few cases, loaded up some 120 gr Sierra pro hunters over Varget, and was amazed at what the rifle was capable of.
