[QUOTE="ramy007, post: 2338109, member: 120684"] Hey whats up guys !! I got gifted by my girlfriend a Browning Xbolt Long range chambered in 300 rum, I mounted it with a vx6 4x24x52 leupold scope. Im having a hard time getting a good group, tried the sirocco 180gr, the eldx 220gr, the corelokt 180gr and neither shoots well, these are all factory amunition, getting groups 2 to 3 inch at 100 yards and 4 to 6 inch at 200yards. Its after that I realised that the twist rate is 1/8 !!! im not a pro but did some research on the net and saw that an 1/8 twist in a 300 rum i should go 230gr and beyond. My last rum was a 1/10 twist remington, so never had to deal with this... Being from Montreal, Canada bullets supply are hard to find so i think im going to have to reload my own bullets which is something new for me or sell the gun and get my girl ****ed at me for a couple of weeks :) I know there is the new A-Tip bullets 250gr from hornady, should i go with it ? but is it good for hunting too ? Did any of you had experience with 300 rum Xbolt long range ? or do you guys have any tips ? Thanks !! [/QUOTE]
