[QUOTE="brentc, post: 608999, member: 16938"] I'm in little different situation with my 300 WSM, in that I have more than enough space in my magazine to seat out to the lands, even with 230 grain Bergers OTMs. You make good points about the 3 shot groups. I don't shoot any more than that unless it's less than 50* outside, otherwise it gets a little too hot. But even if I push to 5 shot groups through a hot barrel the rifle usually maintains at least 1 MOA. For a packable hunting rifle it's hard to beat and it's a great foundation for a rebarrel when it's time. I have found the factory skim bedding on top of the aluminum bedding block adequate. Is yours factory skimmed? What do you think of the trigger? I installed a lighter spring and adjusted it as light as I could, but I'd still like to take it down a bit more. Timney has said they will have a replacement trigger soon. I can't wait.
