Make sure you do not sleep with clothes on! Put in bottom of bag if need be. Second, make sure to open bag up to dry out during the day.

I have 2 8's. A military Mauser that has a extended eye relief scope on it and timney trigger. Shot about a 1.125" 10 shot group with 196 Noslers, varget, Fed 210. Sierra and Hornadys real close. My dad's old 1914 Mauser in 8/06AI loves 200 partitions, Imr 4320, Fed 210. Averages 1.250" or...

I have a 8mm06AI.with imr4320 and 200 partitions 210 primers it shoots 1.25" groups.

Remington Model 7, in 7mm/08. 140 gr. partition, ahead of R-19. Of about 15 deer shot with this one only two ran. One was a heart shot by my son on his 1st hunt, the other an angle shot too far back. Both were dead just didn't know it that quick. All the others were "Nosler timed" as Hal Shockey...

I have a Ruger # 1 that started out as a 7mm Rem Mag. Got it when someone bought it and tried that ammo in a 7STW chamber. It shot factory Nosler 140 Part. like a shotgun about 2" groups. Fixed the forend by taking off the wood contact, and it had an ejector problem (stuck piston/spring). Tried...
