[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 133237, member: 8843"] A coworker of mine too the plunge to get a decient setup this year and got the A-bolt Stainless Stalker in 7WSM. Right out of the box the trigger was just over 6lbs , the bedding job is a joke and the recoil pad ain't much so with this setup and several differant quality factory loads the gun woulden't do much better than 1.5" at 100yds. I rebedded the gun with Steel Bed , worked the trigger with a Timney spring kit and a little stoning and installed a Sims prefit recoil pad all this dropped the groups to just under 1" at 100yds. I recut the crown as it looked a little out of square (and was) and worked up a hand load using a 162gr A-max , match preped brass Federal 215M primers and 63grs of H-4831sc all gave a velocity of just under 3000 fps and accuracy is real close to the 1/2 moa mark out to 400yds. The recoil isin't that bad and the long A-max bucks the wind well and flattens deer. The reloads are using once fired neck sized brass and the bullet is off the lands about .020" if I remember correctly. this load was worked up in a temp of about 80 degs and shows no sign of pressure in his gun but it did cause a sticky bolt when a buddy tried it in his Winchester so start a little lower and work you way up. the Sims pad works realy well as does the Timney spring kit.
