Weatherby UL 30-06 HEADACHES
Weatherby mk5 Ultra Light in 30-06 will not shoot for crap. Tried at least 5 loads factory and my favorite reloads 165g and 180g. 4-6 inch @ 100 three shot groups from a cold barrel. Wants to string them from top to bottom in no order.
Any ideas what to try next?

Assume you have already checked scope mounts and given it a good cleaning with copper solvent. I have a Mark V Ultra Light in 257 Weatherby that I couldn't keep within three or four inches. Tried factory and hand loads, changed scopes, cleaned, everything I could think of. Finally tried one shot and let the barrel cool (at least ten minutes), then a second shot and allow to cool, and then the third. Keeps factory and handloads at 1 MOA. Shouldn't be that sensitive but mine is. Good luck. 0 -
I'm thinking you have a barrel pressure problem. Try first to full float barrel in the stock, and shoot it. Then try to apply some upward pressure at the fore end of stock to barrel. {shim it}. Bob 0 -

retightend the stock screws one could have been tighter. If its going to be this fussy it will get traded I love the gun it fits me well but its getting to be a pain. 0 -
Get an inch pound torque wrench and torque both action screws to the same amount . Verticle stringing usually comes from loose or unbalanced screws. WEatherby's usually are not real picky about loads at least mine isnt .I get 1/2 groups from 57 grains of imr 4350 loaded in winchester nickle caseds with any good 150 grain bullet used to shoot nosler ballistic tips but have switched to speers cause i got a deal on 5 boxes of them a while back . Primers are whatever i have the most of currently CCi large rifle 0
