[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 961660, member: 71923"] That all sounds good. the Winchester Model 70 chambered was my first highpower. when the gun salesman told me, "this can take down anything in North America" I bought it (young, foolish and obsessed with power). then I had similar arm and shoulder issues as you had... I ported it about 4 years ago and now I like shooting it. I put an aftermarket trigger in it at the same time and it is a new rifle. a couple of years ago, I shot a whitetail at 489 yards with it. that is my farthest shot to date, though I am having Hart Barrels cut a 6.5-06AI right now. I should have it next month hopefully. and boy let me tell you what, till you get dies made and a stock and brass and powder and bullets and a trigger, you are talking the $$$. This is something I have been saving for several years. so I am ready to get it back and try it out. hoping that I will make it out your way someday for a hunt. I have 3 boys that are 6,2,and 1 so it will be a while but I plan to bring them too. Reloading can be relaxing if you let it. and it can be a headache too. just get good stuff and either get a really expensive digital scale or a balance. one of the worst mistakes I made was buying a $100 digital scale. they are not very repeatable. so I bought a lab model but its overkill. but then, you start doing that kind of stuff in the name of accuracy.
