[QUOTE="Ghost7, post: 1121007, member: 89834"] I should have my butt kicked for waiting so long in life to reload. Haven't been reloading for a year yet but it has really been beneficial in too many ways to mention but I want to share one quick victory. Taking a break from reloading and R&D on the .243 I decided to buy some dies for my 20 yr old .300wm ABolt. I have had this rifle since 1992 and haven't shot 2 boxes through it. I had several boxes of ammo (Hornady and Win Black Talons). A few weeks ago I shot 4 5shot groups through it with the factory ammo. The best group I had was approx 2 1/2" @ 100yds. It was all coming back to me why I never shot this particular rifle, along with the violent recoil, the accuracy was awful. I loaded up some Sierra 165 gr HPBT over Varget and IMR4350, thinking this would be a good hunting round for my area. My only purpose was to get this sporter to shoot decent or I was going to sell or trade it for something else since I am now totally ate up with this hobby. Second load shot .604" @ 100yd. For many years I thought this rifle was a *** but now I think there is hope for any rifle whether it is a LRP or just a hunting rifle. I should have started this years ago! [/QUOTE]
