Remington 760 feeding problem
I have a Remington 760, 30-06 that shoots quite well (1" groups at 100 yds, quite often) when single loaded. However, when shells are cycled throught the magazine the group opens up to double or triple the size. After looking at unfired bullets after cycling them through the magazine and chamber, I discovered that the noze of the bullets are damaged as they enter the chamber. Some lead is scraped off leaving a flat spot about 1/8" wide and over that long on the edge of the bullet noze. I suspected it was due to the magazine not holding them proberly and bought a new magazine and the same thing happens. I am shooting 150gr soft points winchester factory loads. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions to correct the problem would be greatly appreciated.

I would try a round nose bullet before I got to flustered. Sometimes the spitzer type or pointed type bullets do not feed quite right. There should be a lead build up at the area between the top of the clip and the chamber. Look closely and see if there is a rough edge where the bullet starts into the chamber. This is not typical of this gun and should be able to be corrected fairly easy. If that doesn't help let me know and I will forward you a couple more things to look at. 0 -
or try some of the plastic tipped ammo (ballistic tip). 0 -
Try round nose bullets.
