    My savage 110BA in 300 Win Mag has shot a few moa groups, and many near MOA groups at a mile (1760 Yards). It shoots way beyond its price point! Love it when that happens!

    My inexpensive CVA Hunter in 243 Win. It shoots most any factory ammo into 1" at 100 yards and handloads with the 95 gr. Nosler BT into little holes about the size of a single 45 cal. bullet.
    I have taken several antelope with this rifle at extreme range and can't be more pleased with its performance.

    I'm very suprised more 600s have not been mentioned. Every one I've shot has been a tack driver. Literally.

    Sako 30-06 I bought my second tour in Germany, I picked it up at the factory,still holds the 1/2 MOA, it shot during test firing,about 200 meters,which is close enough for a dead on hold out to 250yards.
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

    I am not surprised at the frequent mention of the 788 Remington here. I must include a model not mentioned on this thread yet. I shot a three round group from my brothers Remington 7600 30-06 about 25 years ago in preparation of the Missouri firearms opener. The load was 56.5 of IMR 4350 using CCI BR primer and Hornady 165 BTSP. There was one hole that was just slightly taller than it was wide. It was only as wide as the .308 bullet. That was at 150 yards. That is still the best group I have ever fired from a factory rifle.

    I have a few that are limited by the owner's skills. A Ruger 22-250 that shoots a 55gr VMax/35gr IMR4895, A Ruger 338WM that likes 225 Hornadys and Reloader 22, a Tikka T3 6.5X55 that shoots any 140gr bullet, and a Browning BLR 358Win that shoots best with IMR3031 and a 200 gr bullet. None of these are expected to leave paper between 3 or 5 bullet holes at 100 yards. The ones that recoil require some refamiliarization practice if it's been months since they were last shot.

    My brother has a Mohawk 600 in 308, and my father one in 6mm Rem. I don't know that either one of them have tried firing them for groups, but now I'm intrigued.

    I also had a Rem 788, in 7mm-08, back in the 80's. Shot very well. 1 1/2" with plain factory ammo. I could get 1/2" with some reloads. I credit the short barrel for the accuracy.

    Since I have not owned many rifles, it remains the most accurate I have owned.

    Kind of Odd:
    Here we are on "CAST BOOLITS" and most posts are citing
    accuracy with Jacketed bullets.........

    I have a Remington XP-100 in .223 with a Lilja 24" barrel and a McMillan varmint style stock. It has a Jewel trigger and a Leopold 6.5x20-40 scope. With Sierra bullets it shoots really good and with my rimfire jacketed bullets it shoots about 1/2" at a hundred yards.
    She's my #1 varmint getter.

    Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. It's a 1 MOA rifle with most ammo, and can shoot nice sub MOA groups with tailored loads. I think the best I've done is 3/4" at 100 yards. I doubt that's the best the rifle can do.

    Shilen DGA Benchrest in 222 Remington... A true 1 hole, full-blown benchrest rifle, but it was "factory built".

    The projectile criteria was not defined, unless I missed it. And the J-word way is much easier, so I have heard AND observed.

    Hannibal,
    YOu are correct, the projectile criteria was not SPECIFICALLY defined. J is easier.
    Indeed, I, too shoot J s . Esp for my varmint rifles. NO Problem....
    BUT:
    I was only referring to perhaps an "understood?" venue here of shooting "Cast Boolits"
    That is why I attend with great anticipation of us all sharing cast bullet info/rifle shooting.
