There it is.....what is the twist in the barrel
There it is.....what is the twist in the barrel
I had problems with a X bolt in 300 Wm with a boss and was about to give up on it but fluke day load using a 180 gn Nosler ballistic tip sub .6 at 100 meters so percevereI'm having a hard time getting my xbolt to shoot very good. Can't seem to get anything I've tried to shoot under an inch. What are some tips you fellas can give me, any advice is helpful! Powders, bullets, primers, reloading techniques. It all helps.

If it wont shoot Sierra match Kings, its the rifle set up from my experience7rem mag, I've used 175 Accubond long ranges so far with what little retumbo I've had left, h1000 an imr7828ssc all in half grain increments up to max book.
I would be interested with playing with it for you if you would like, or buying it.I had one and tried all different loads and depths and still couldn't get it to shoot. I tried 4-5 different scopes it wasn't a scope issue. I called Browning and they recommended shooting 175 gr factory Remington, Winchester and I believe Federal. I bought a box of Remington's and it still wouldn't shoot. I sent it back to Browning they kept it for about 1 1/2 months and sent it back to me with a couple holes touching on a target. I mounted a scope took it out to my range and it shot just like it did before I sent it back. I sent it back to Browning with a letter telling them how I felt about their product , about 3 months later I got a new one back from Browning. It's still in the box unfired if anyone is interested in it. It the Max long range in 7 mm mag.
Wow. Wildly over-react much?I don't mean to laugh, because it's not funny at all. But I've yet to see or hear of one of these shooting worth a hoot. I had one in .300 mag. "Iron worker" on here had one as well. I spent over $600 on components trying every combo I had access to. 4 or 5 different bullets close to 10 different powders. Browning accepts 1.5 MOA from this model and they were on about a 3-4 month turn around to "look" at it. But they made it clear to me that if they were able to get a 1.5 moa group out of it, it was within their specs. I ended up having mine rebarreled ($900) and it shot better. BUT I will say that the stock may seem like a neat one, but it IMO is in fact junk also. If it NOT stiff enough for bipod work. Even with the mcarbo spring installed, if you watch closely (hard to explain, without sounding like my form is garbage) you can actually see the stock flexing enough to make the cross hairs slowly drift down on the target... this may not be the case on I'll of them, but it was on mine. The Max LR was about a $2700 mistake I wish I would have never made. But, I'm glad it happened , makes me never buy another rifle that I cant work on myself. This is just how I feel about the rifles. I know some people love them, but I HATE them. I'll NEVER buy another browning again.
Hopefully you can get yours straightened out.
Wow. Wildly over-react much?
LOL. Ok.Considering the amount of money and time wasted on the rifle, and seeing how many other people have piped up in the last 2 days having similar issues with this model. No, I don't think so. Thanks for the concern though. Like I said my opinion.
