Need Help- Poor Accuracy with Savage 11/111 XP Hunter in 30-06

I don't think your loads are the problem. It a problem with the rifle itself. Here is what I did to a savage 110 in 270 that worked for me. The first is to test adding front barrel support. Cut a piece of shim stock and insert under the barrel at the front end of the stock. Don't want a hard lift, just touch so that it dampens the barrel when fired. My rifle took about a 10 mil piece of plastic. a piece of business card or some such thing is all that is needed. Your load data seemed fine to me. if those loads wont shoot it is not the load. .

So removing the free-floating of the barrel improved accuracy? Interesting...
