Hi There,
Yes, I'm new to the community but have been in the precision rifle game for a long time. Typically I build my own rifles, but lacking time I recently bought a Bergara HMR in 7 PRC and cannot get this damn this to shoot better than 1.5 MOA, most groups are 2.5MOA +. I've tried three different factory loads and 12 different hand loads. So far, the best load I've found was a 150 gr ELD-X. Before anyone asks, I've already checked the torque on the action screws, touched up the muzzle crown (11 degrees), checked the diameter of the exit hole on the muzzle brake (no signs of copper or muzzle strike), torqued and loctited the scope mount screws, and I'm running a Nightforce NX8 4-32. All the easy stuff has been verified, however, I haven't slugged the bore yet. Is anyone else having similar issues?
