[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 241009, member: 9172"] I have 2 300 WBY's...one for hunting and one for competition. Comp gun....300 WBY, .330 neck, BAT 1.55 round model M , Clay Spencer 1-10 twist finished at 30", fluted to with in an inch of it's life, Shehane MBR Tracker, Juel Trigger, Bat 20MOA rings. Fit and chamberd by Mr. Spencer. Hunting gun. Remington Sendaro (one of the first off the line back in the mid 1990s). Action squared up, Skim bedded over the aluminum block for a perfect fit, Clay Spencer 1-10 twist 30 inch 300 WBY, .330 neck, Remington Varment contour......NO BRAKE. Work done by Mr Spencer. Timney trigger, Ken Ferral 20 MOA basses, Leupold Mk 4 rings. I will go out on a limb and say that my hunting gun is as accurate (or really close, anyway) as the Comp gun.....just can't shoot it as fast or as long before it heats up. Of course it kicks a bunch more, and that doesn't help much. I have shot a zillion targets at long range in perfect conditions (at midnight...zero wind, zero mirage....PERFECT). It has shot a lot of sub 1/4 min groups at distance. I will say without any hesitation that it is a SUB 1/2 min gun.....every day!! I shot it only once in a registered 1000 yard match (shootoff), in less than good conditions, and shot a 5 inch group, which won!!!;) It's just that the Lack of weight and stock design limit it's potential. Oh ya...Freebore......I don't need no stinken' freebore...:D Guns are throated for Berger VLD bullets to touch the lands and have none of the bullet in the case area. The 300 has a very long neck, and I can controle neck tension with different bushings. OAL on my match gun is 3.790...Loaded to 3.810 (twenty thou jam). My hunting gun is slightly shorter, but long enough that when I am at the lands, I can't fit the rounds into the mag. The gun shoots just about as good with them seated deep enough to fit in the mag well. Leupold 8.5-25 on the match gun, Nightforce 8-32 NSX on hunting gun. Hunting gun shoots Moly, Match gun shoots uncoated bullets. I use Norma brass, But am looking closely at the RWS 375 H&H brass we got with the new gun last week. I don't know if I am that crazy about the whole fire forming deal.....I go through that with my Dasher.....I just HATE the thought of shooting 100 shots worth of bullets, powder, BBL life, primers, TIME, ect...... just to have a little better brass. Like I said, I just started with them....mayby they are a BUNCH better. In talking with some of the guys I compeat with, and if I was to do this whole thing on a 300 RUM, I would use the Nostler Brass, although it is a little scarce right now. I would do everything else the same. [/QUOTE]
