    Have you tried something a little heavier?
    I have had excellent results with 165-168gr bullets in -06. Federal Deer Thug seems to be pretty good factory fodder.
    I know you said factory ammo but a near max charge of IMR 4350 with a CCI BR2 and a Sierra Gameking HPBT is pure magic in a couple of mine.
    Here's an article on torque tuning, wont cost anything and couldn't hurt.http://www.accurateshooter.com/techn...torque-tuning/
    Good luck

    This is a great reminder to those of us trying to improve any of our guns that are less than what we know they should be.
    And, an excellent short article.
    Thanks,
    Regis
