[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1078974, member: 77249"] I bought a Kimber Montana 8400 300 WSM in about 2004 when they first hit the market. When I read that Melvin Forbes of ULAC. had designed the stock I wanted one. I had heard stories that the Kimber Montana 8400's did not shoot good out of the box. I decided to try something on this rifle as an experiment. I have 30 cal. cast bullets I used to shoot in my work rifle to keep in shooting form. I coated 10 cast bullets in Midway's medium fire lap abrasive, 30 in the Fine Midway fire lap abrasive, used LYMAN cast data for these bullets. Loaded some 150,165,180 gr. jacketed bullets and went to the range. Cleaned rifle of shipping lube. Shot 5 Med coated bullets, cleaned the bore shot the other 5 med., cleaned the bore. Shot the 30 fine coated with cleaning bore every 5 rounds. Cleaned the bore, At 100 yds. started with 150 gr. Jacketed bullets. 1.75 group, 165 gr. jacketed 1.25 group. 180 gr Sierra .625 group. With a 2.5 X 8 Leopold scope, nylon sling and 4 rounds 7 1/4 lb. bad weather rifle. The Kimber action is great. Mauser Claw Extractor, Sako Adjustable Firing Pin, Model 70 3 Position Safety, and the bolt can be taken apart in camp with no tools and cleaned every night if needed. Over the last 10 years has become my go to rifle. Deer Elk and Caribou so far. [/QUOTE]
