35 Whelen didn't respond well at all to being freefloated. So now I'm going to glass bed it and see where we're at.

30-06 is shooting around an inch at 50 yards. I expect Federal 150's likely aren't its favorite load. But it is acceptable regardless.

Fired a 1/8" group with the 243 at 50 yards today with Winchester 80 grains. So....that's like 1/4-MOA. No groundhog nor varmint nor heart\lung of deer will be safe!!

Well I only shot it at 50 yards because it was almost 100 degrees here that day so I had limited ambition at the range. I've no doubt it will do fine at 100, 200, or even 300 yards. It needs more range time but right now there's a 30-06 with a scope that crapped out today and a 35 Whelen that needs glass bedded as soon as the Acra glass kit gets here.

So the update is I had glass bedded the action and freeloader the barrel on the 35 Whelen and that gave me 2 MOA. I wanted more so I did a full length glass bed and now have 1.25 MOA. I'm really happy with that so I'm done fiddling with it. That's with Remington 250's. My shoulder is glad to be done.
