Gene,
Thanxs for the feed back I just wanted to bragg on the old Remmy as she should not have held such performance I really was expecting 1-1/2 MOA to 3MOA. I have fired differant loadings in her and she will not hold this well it REALLY like the 174s (JLKs) at 47 gr of 4064.
While we was at the range my son let me know that he desires and reallllly likes my Grendel but seen a AR in 16" configuration and as we discussed on other occassions ER Shaw is for the masses not match shooting (can some be used for this sure). The post was not a slam but pointing out that there are many Remmy barrels that will not Hold a group sometimes ya get a winner. There are Folks on here getting excellant results with ER Shaw products, just not me (haha) and yes they make a good product for the money.
Point is the boy wants me to cut down the ER Shaw from 24 to 16 for him and me get a differant barrel so we can both shoot Grendels. He like the 06 but contended the Grendel is more comfortable during long strings and I just wanted to bragg on the rifle and that I have a load that it really likes. The reason I singled out the manufacter on the grendel is in case some thought I had a Shilen 24" combo
on another note the exact same load for the 06 in a M1 that I had built up years ago with a Krieger and matching all componets would at best produce 2 MOA and not stay competitive with the mouse guns. Even the 14 I had playing about with accepted NRA loading that was considered accurate for the sport would not come close to the performance I get with the remington in that pencil barreled configuration once properly fouled.
Cold Bore bets are off as I have not played with Cold Bore in her
