7mm mag win m70 shooting problem

anyone out there know why i'm shooting a ~0.75moa group at 100 yards and then the same bullets (remington corelokt 175 grain) are giving me ~6moa at 200 yards? are different rounds better for this gun?

If you are using factory ammo & don't reload then you might switch to another brand or bullet weight. I've always found that reloading your own ammo usually results in better accuracy.

Another dumb, one-n-done question. Nobody asking that kind of question is handloading and I don't think there is a 7RM out there that won't stabilize 175gr bullets, with factory ammo. My guess is, he wouldn't know a minute of angle if you showed it to him in a science book and the only problem with this gun is the trigger interface unit.

He need to realize that MOA is = 1" groups @ 100 yards.

In the case of the OP, it may be that his gun just doesn't do well with 175gr bullets, or that he isn't a good shot, or his version of "MOA" is less accurate than his shooting.

Was thinking the same. Might be the rate-of-twist of his rifle. I would think a rate of 1-in-9 would be the best for accurate shooting 175 grainers. Then again the 7 mm Magnum SHOULD be able to have enough velocity needed to stabolize the longer 175 grainers, using a 1-in-12" twist. Also the shooter could be the reason for not shooting good groupings.
