I took my 30.06 A-bolt to the range the other day. I didn't get the results that I thought I would. My BAR 30.06 likes Remington core lock, 165 gr. ammo, it's very accurate with it. The A-bolt didn't. I was not as accurate or consistent with it as I thought I should have been. I'm guessing that the length of the barrel has something to do with it. I haven't started re-loading yet, I get most of my ammo form wally wolrd. I was wondering if any one has any advise on what brand of ammo the A-bolt would respond to the best. Thanks for any input.
As with any firearm...the ammo it prefers will differ from gun to gun. Half the fun is trying different loads by different manufacturers...press on and find which one yours prefers.
