[QUOTE="7stw, post: 357925, member: 22854"] Hello and thanks to all. I have a rm. 700 in 300 saum that is driving me nuts. I bought it as a medium to short range rifle in a synthetic BDL configuration before rem went to the SPS series. It is about 2 years old and will not shoot the way that I feel it should,or can shoot. I have been shooting and loading for about 35 years, and this rifle just doe not want to come around at all. It has about 225 rounds thru it now and will not shoot under1.5 inches consistantly. I have multiple seating depths, several powder, primer and bullet combinations, and sometimes I can get SMK;s or Lapua scenars to shoot, but need to get a good hunting to at least show promise. I just recently thouroughly cleaned it with JB bore cleaner to rule that out, but it does get a routine cleaning otherwise. While cleaning and almost since new, I can feel a section inside the barrel about 1/2 way up that while pushing a jag thru it , that seems to be easier in that same spot for about 2 inches then returns to the original patch resistance. I am wondering if that is my culprit or what. Any body with similar experiences or with 300 saum in general please comment. Could I be looking at a barrel, or might remington take a look?lightbulbgun)Thank You. Shoot Well, Shoot Often, Aim Small, Miss Small [/QUOTE]
