[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1423568, member: 98025"] Thanks for the responses, gentleman. It's going FROM a 6mm Remy TO a .243 Winchester. Action has already been trued and the barrel is a Douglas XX match grade barrel. I just never could get consistent groups out of it no matter what components I tried OR what new "tools/toys" I added to my reloading bench. There aren't any guarantees it will perform better as a .243. Gonna put it in a new H.S. Precision Stock (it was previously in a Choate) and the Leupold scope that was on it has been sent back to Beaverton just to make sure that wasn't the problem. The Smith that did the original build quoted me @ $300.00 to re-chamber to a .243 and open up/skim bed the new stock. If none of this proves effective then that rifle will be parted out and sold off and I guess I'll just buy a Ruger Precision Rifle and forget the whole "custom build" scene. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
