[QUOTE="mobenzowner, post: 1763585, member: 94161"] Friend of mine has a Remington in 300 Rum. Seems to me like it has a very long throat. He says the Barnes 180 factory ammo has him at a .182" length to hit the lands on his rifle. He says that same load will shoot 1" at 200 yds but goes to a foot at 400 yds. I asked him if the target shows circular or oblong bullet entry and he claims 100% circular. I thought perhaps the bullet was tumbling although there s/b no stabilization issues with a 180 barnes out of a 300 Rum. Is that throat out of spec? He is not recoil sensitive and shoots the 300 win mag to 800 yds with good accuracy. Other than check the torque on action screws, scope bases and rings, the standard stuff, is there anything you all might recommend he do. The only thing non factory is a muzzle break. I'll suggest he either try a different break of take it completely off. [/QUOTE]
