[QUOTE="Tom Brush, post: 127280, member: 6449"] I have to disagree with removing the Boss. I have two A-Bolt rifles with the Boss. Both work as advertised. My .300 Winchester will shoot most any 180 gr. bullet into 1/2 inch at 100 yds. (including several factory loads). I have been working with the 185 Berger VLD and 3-shot groups are averaging around 1/4" at 100 yds. I have a load for the 165 Hornady SST that shoots around .150 average for 3-shots. I have taken an antelope at 483 yds. with the Hornady. Both the Berger and Hornady are seated to touch the lands so they are too long for the magazine. I shoot 2 shot groups until I get both bullets to go thru the same hole. I can adjust to a new bullet weight with 10 bullets. I just shot a test with the Sierra 200 gr. Game King seated deep to magazine depth (I have to get a .375 Magnum clip to allow longer OAL.) The two shot groups ranged from .937 with #3.5 to .067 and .254 with a 2.7 setting. My 22-250 has shot several groups at 200 yds. that were under 1/4". I did modify my rifle to fully free float the barrel. It is the synthetic stock S/S Stalker model. I also relieved the forend tip under the barrel quite a bit. Before I did this work it was inconsistant. One day grouping good but the next it was over 1 1/2" at 100 yds. Relieving the stock under the barrel at the forend tip is critical. I believe that the barrel is flexing and hitting the stock during recoil. I have done most of my shooting with the CR device. I have switched back to the Boss and found that it really does reduce recoil and barrel rise. Tom [/QUOTE]
