I tried 3 different factory loads hornday 165 , 150 Remington, 180 federal
Cleaned it tried all again got about 1 1/2 - 2 inch moa , bought some 150 sst
Got about 1-1 1/2 inch wasn’t too happy for the price it cost, let my buddy use it for a pronghorn hunt , he liked it with the ammo he bought fedral premium I think? He bought it for his son and seems happy with 1 +/- moa
He’s happy, I’m happy to not have it = win /win

have a 6.5 prc ridgeline that groups excellent after the break-in, HOWEVER, it seems to build pressure quickly with factory ammo (heavy bolt lift even after a 2 piece spring)

newer lot (slower) eldm seemed to group the best (below an inch 5 shot groups at 200 yards) but it was very picky early on and hotter factory ammo has not grouped that well. Good thing is the 147 is an absolutely killer

Yes and No.

Yes - 308 Traverse. Shoots great. Sub MOA factory ammo. So happy I bought another CA.
NO - 300 WM Traverse 25th Anniversary. Did not shoot. Tried different ammo. Different optics. Different mounts. Finally sent it back in. Got a new barrel and some other fixes. Still has a heavy / stiff bolt at times, but it shoots now.

Still trying to help figure out what my dad's Ridgeline 300 WM likes.

Had a buddy of mine send me a picture yesterday of a comparison between a Tikka T3x + 25 yo scope next to CA Ridgeline with a new Leupold scope and it was laughable how much better performance he's getting out of the set up that costs half as much.

I will not waste my time with one again.
