[QUOTE="rickjoty, post: 1267301, member: 99582"] I'm giving this conversion serious thought if I can't improve the accuracy and consistency of this mid '70's Win. Model 70 Super Grade. I had it shooting 1 MOA or less with lead but then California instituted the lead ban for hunting. So with copper Barnes TTX, Hornady GMX, and Nosler, I have been 1.5 - .75 MOA. I had the stock bedded, barrel free floated, and the action trued. I took it to the range with its prior favorite load and shot a 4 MOA group. Can you call that a group? Took it back to the smith. They said everything checked out ok. I tried some different loads and was able to shoot one at 1 MOA. Now I have changed the scope to see if that makes a change. If not I'm thinking about sending it to another smith and have him go through it and add a Hart barrel. At that time I'm thinking about changing to 28 Nosler. Has anyone done this? Is the 28 Nosler inherently more accurate that the 7mm RM? [/QUOTE]
