[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 362364, member: 13285"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I have a Remington 700 action that is fitted with a 30" heavy Lilja barrel plus brake in .338 Edge.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Now this rifle can handle up to 97 gn of H1000 no problem. It shoots the 92 gn load very well, but anything past 92 grains and accuracy starts to deteriorate.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I have tried looking for nodes etc but it is no good. I am beginning to think that action flex under the higher loadings with the long heavy barrel is the problem.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]So what do you think? Are there limits to loading/barrel weight and length that effect the Remington 700 action?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]What would be a good custom action that would solve these problems?[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
