[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 819668, member: 12995"] It came with 1.5 boxes of ammo. The full box was some "professional" custom handloads from some place called Massaro Ballistics Laboratories, and they are loaded up with 210 Scirocco's. The 1/2 box is some Barnes VOR-TX with some 210 TTSX's. I'm gonna shoot them and see how it shoots. If it seems to be too much overkill for around here (which it does to me), I will rebarrel the action to a more suitable caliber for my liking. Another buddy is good friends with another local smith, who has some 700 5R .300 WinMag barrel take-offs laying around (new). He's supposed to be checking to see what he'll take for one or 2 of them. If not much, then it will become a heavy-barreled 5R .300 WM. My buddy wants the .338 barrel if I pull it off. The guy I bought the gun from also has a brand new 700 factory 24" stainless fluted 25-06 sporter barrel I'm buying for $50 on Friday. Looks like it's only been test-fired. I plan on having it reamed to .257 Wby Mag for a later build, if I don't put it on this .338 action. [/QUOTE]
