    Help with .243 situation

    If it was me! I'd start with some reloads & find something that shot well! Don't worry about the free bore yet! When you find a good combo work with it & see what happens! Start small!

    X-Bolt or Model 70?

    Well I can only speak for the m70 & A bolt. I have a FN SC made m70 300wsm & only live 75mi from the plant & have a friend that works their. With factory loads I only got 1/2-3/4'' with my reloads I get 3/8'' easy. It is a wonderful deer gun & just solid no matter what I put it through it just...

    Favorite Caliber

    For me it started with the 30-06, then the 300wsm showed up & I just love it!! There have been many to fall by the .30 cal over the years.:D

    M70 Safty (sticking-very hard to engage)

    Thanks The safty was always a lot stiffer compaired to the other 2 m70s. I've only adjusted the factory trigger a little. But all the sudden it's super stiff.

    .338 Help

    Thanks Guys I feel even better about my .340WBY now for some LR fun. I'm going to start with AB 225gr for now I have a few hundred & they have good BC. For you that have played with heavy pills above 225gr what has worked best in the .340? I've seen very little info on 300gr.lightbulb

    M70 Safty (sticking-very hard to engage)

    Help Guys My m70 safty is very hard to engage & I mean to the point at which I'm pulling with 2 fingers holding the gun side ways. What could it be & how do I get the safty system apart? The gun shoots fine, bolt all works fine, I can take the bolt assembly apart. What do I need to...

    300WSM and Hornady

    You can get 130gr in Barns TSX & TTSX & man they are fast out of my 300wsm. Barns load data gets you at 3540fps with a 24'' tube but, I'm getting around 3500fps reloading.:D Also Hornady makes a 130gr SP & they list it at 3450fps
