re: Ruger 30.06 not grouping well

I think something is loose or something is touching the barrel.
How many rounds have you shot thru the bore? Is it broke in?
Could be the scope, take it off and put on a different rife, see if it groups.
Could be heat. Shoot one shot. Wait til tomorrow shoot again, etc see if it'll group. It'll take a while, but in reality that's how we shoot when we hunt. We shoot with a cold bore, one shot.
Are you flinching? Let someone else shoot it.
Honestly, I think the stock is touching the barrel. See if you can slide a dollar bill between the stock and barrel all the way to the action.

The stock is touching the barrel if the OP hasn't worked on it.
Make sure everything is tight and then take your time shooting.

This to start with. Also, check your chamber to see if it is clean. The handloads. Were they loaded just for that rifle? The way I work a round up is first using an empty round that is not crimped. I put the round in and chamber it, letting the bullet get pushed back by the barrel threads. Remic the round and the casing and trim the casing as needed. My finished round will be set to were the bullet is sitting inside the barrel threading. The casing will be just a hair short of the chamber for expansion.
