Hey, hi everyone!
I'm new to the forum and, although i read alot about firearms, im new to the sport.
A couple weeks ago i had the chance to shoot a rifle for the first time. I shot 2 types of Ammo from Remington: Bronze-tip and Core-lokt.
I find the Bronze-tip bullets to be less precise. I tought the probable cause of this is the fact the bronze tip is a bit lose in the bullet so it vibrates when shot, making it less accurate.

Now i must say that as a first time shooter, im not the most proficient with a rifle.I think that my dads rifle isnt the most precise rifle ever made either.He owns a remington 7600 synthetic pump-action in 30-06 on top of wich stands a Bushnell 2x7-32mm Elite(good scope for the price!My dad found himself looking thru his scope at dawn to get a clearer view of the woods around than with his own eyes).

I could not get a shot close to bullseye at 200 yards with the Bronze-tip, but i was able to put a couple within 3 1/2 inches of the bullseye with the Core-lokt.
Anybody else experienced the same? Are Swift Scirrocos the same as bronze-tip?

Anybody else shot the 7600 rifle?Any comment?
Thx everybody

As far as the bronze tip. That is a thin jacketed bullet mainly for varmits. Not a scirocco.

Now I have had some luck with remington ammo, but mainly I use Federal. Fed. Premium seems more accurate per bullet type for my guns. I also load my own ammo for some guns.

That said you are correct about the 7600, its probably not as presice a rifle as a 700. At 200 yards it should hit at least a 6 inch bullseye, if the shooter does his part. A 7600 with good bullets in 30-06 is a fine hunting rifle out to 250 yards or so.

Enjoy yourself and good luck with shooting.

Bronze points shot OK in my .30-06 (handloads), but you'll just have to see what your rifle shoots best, as you are doing.

That's part of the job when you try to find the best hunting load. Impossible to predict what will shoot best, beforehand.

A 200 yard zero is good for the .30-06; that should also be about 2 inches high at 100 yards. More practice will help, as well.

If Cor-Lokts work well, then great, they are usually not too expensive. Good luck with your hunting.

thx for the replies people
