[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 961126, member: 12995"] Mine is a hunting rifle, I don't shoot any comps (wish I did, that would be fun). I know mine shoots remarkably for being as lightweight as it is, compared to a benchrest gun. Mine is nothing more than a Remington Sendero SF .300 Wby, that has had the chamber opened up to .300 Ackley, and had the action trued up and worked-over, while he had the barrel off. It's not a big 70 lb. heavy-gun class BR setup. But I havne't even finished load development yet, and it's already shooting around 5/8 to 3/4 MOA on the first go-round of ladder testing (with fire-formed brass), and I haven't even finalized any powder charges yet. Basically, it is the easiest Ackley caliber to form brass for. You literally buy new .300 Wby brass, and load a light powder load, and shoot it, and it forms the walls from the round Venturi shouldered Wby cartridge, into a straight-walled 40-degree shouldered cartridge. It's that simple. [/QUOTE]
