I recently purchased a Remington 700 Sendero SFII chambered for the 7mm Remington Mag. With the exception of adjusting the factory trigger down to 2.5 pounds there have been no modifications made to the rifle. I carefully cleaned the barrel after each shot for the first ten shots fired through the rifle. I then carefully cleaned the barrel after each five shots for the next ten shots fired through the rifle. Since then I have used multiple combinations of bullets, powders and primers to find a load this rifle likes. Bullets: Nosler 140 grain Ballistic Tips, Nosler 160 grain Accubonds, Hornady 139 grain Interbond, Hornady 162 grain SSTs, Barnes 160 Grain TSXs, and Berger 168 grain VLDs. Powder: RL22, H1000, Retumbo. Primers: Fed GM215M and Rem 9 1/2M. To date I have yet to achieve a 100 yard bench rest group under 4 inches with this rifle. I have small hands so I dislike the huge palm swell on the HS Precision stock but in no way feel this is causing the accuracy problem. The scope is a VX2 3-9 with a target dot reticle.
What was this rifle manufactured to shoot? Does Remington have a specific factory load this rifle was meant to shoot with? If so what is it? As you can appreciate I spent a little extra money for this super duper "long range tack driver" and so far I'm very dissapointed.
