[QUOTE="winmag, post: 416413, member: 22166"] Ive never worked up a load for a Kimber. Tho I have gone well beyond ''looking at them and working the bolt''. One was an 8400, 300wsm and I shot factory ammo into many sub moa 3 shot groups at 100. The other was a 325wsm with a buddy's handloads, and it was a tack driver. It actually out performs his most of his customs. Sorry about your luck with trying to load for one. Every now and then you get a bad apple with any rifle brand. I dont know your loading techniques, nor your ability, so I guess ''looking at them and working the bolt'' is as close as you want to get to one. But I liked the ones I shot. They were accurate, AND looked nice. The Kimber handguns Ive owned were superior to any Ive ever shot, and I would recomend them to anyone. Having also handled, and shot thier rifles, I cant imagine them just being eye candy, and no accuracy. I guess we've had differing experiences. But to the credit of this forum, and its members, Id way sooner listen to the real world experiences, and opinions of members here than anywhere else. Theres a pile of experienced, and well respected shooters here. So good or bad, the collective opinions of L/R/H members would play a major role in my decision. Like I stated in my earlier post, Untill I joined L/R/H, Id never hered a bad thing about Kimbers. But there are members here who do not like them at all. Many L/R/H members are a very demanding lott. So there's gotta be a reason for some of those opinions. Who knows, maybe Kimber took a page out of Remingtons new play book.
