Not enough free bore. That's a switch.

[QUOTE="Ankeny, post: 160476, member: 4821"] This is the first time I have been back since the forum conversion. First off, the chamber meets minimum SAMMI specs so factory ammo is safe enough. I was wrong and my apologies to PacNor. However, if a person used COL data from some of the manuals, the bolt wouldn't even close. The rifle is a Remington 700 BDL with a number 5 taper, five flutes, Holland recoil lug, dropped into a slightly modified HS Precision stock. I tried some 168 Berger VLD bullets over 64.0 grains of RE-22 seated .015 off the rifling. I am getting about 2935 fps and get this...way under 1 MOA...more like .3-.5 MOA out to around 700 yards. Yeah the pressure is a tad high and the velocity a bit low...but it's a hunting rifle so I think I better just shut up and shoot. :-) [/QUOTE]
