Roy.. though I'd save you the time in asking.
If you remember that Sendaro in 7mm Rem Mag that would shoot one hole frequently at 100yds but was no go at 750, well it is now a 7 RUM in a bedded stock with a 4# trigger.
I hate those things but I just can't get anymore adjustment out of it. $225 for a jewell. Anyhow it needs to prove itself in the accuracy department before I go for another trigger. Petey's just all tearey eyed because his new factory LSS shot a 1/2'' group with the first load he tried. I had the same load in mine as well as a number of others and I'm telling you very few of those 162 A maxs made it to the 100yd target. The ones that did were sideways mostly. Amaxs are pretty thin skinned and because I wanted to use this as a repeater I seated them to magazine length to start. Not a good choice. They would not stablize in my gun unless I run them into the lands. I suppose I could make a single shot out of it but I opted to try some other bullets. I got away from the boat tails and went to some flat based Speer 160's and they appear to be doing better. At least they get to the 100 yd mark in one piece with a nice round hole. I've pretty much given up on Retumbo in this gun. Just for kicks put 109 grains of wc 872 with a 140 Nosler Bal tip( started at 106) and Voila'. Groups became 3/4 ". My gun is not a 9.5 twist as Petey's is so I may be stuck shooting the 140's. My next stop is to get some 50BMG and try the 168 SMK's. I think the little fuller case capacity with a little slower powder may be what this gun is telling me it needs. I'm thinking I only need to get to 800 yds and this gun will certainly be enough for Pa whitetails. I'd prefer to shoot the 168 over the 140's but time will tell.
Petey...
Don't get too uppity. You got one of them skinny barreled Rems that the bolt brake off and are worthless. No gun shoots 1/2'' out of the box. You must get a Sako to have that guarantee. Hard to beat that.
Wow you didn't even get a guarantee. But I'll bet you did get one of them "lawyer triggers".
Someday warm weather will be here and we'll see you gets the ghogs at LR.
