[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 978778, member: 34818"] I had the same problem as you with a 300 WSM. Had a barrel made by Dan Pedersen put on a blueprinted Winchester M70 action. It would always throw one out no matter what powder or bullet combo I used. I sent it back and he bedded the action. I spent more money on bullets and powder and it still through a round. I was beyond frustrated. I finally sold it to a guy who didn't shoot long range and didn't care if it shot a 3 shot 2" group at 100 yards as he was only shooting out to 300 yards. He got a really good deal on a custom gun that day haha! I had a custom 338 LM with a Stiller TAC338 action built and have never looked back! I will tell you one thing, I was dang nervous firing the 338 LM for the first time after spending all the money on it and the 300 WSM that I sold. My heart was really pumping hard on the third shot when I was firing for groups. Thankfully it is an awesome shooting rifle and put my worries to ease. You are not alone as many have had a bad rifle made. At some point you have to decide when to hold and when to fold before you lose too much money into a boat anchor. [/QUOTE]
