[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1268140"] Hi Rick, Happy New year! Switching from jacketed lead to lead free is a pain but it is the law. Since I love raptors, I use lead free and have forever. If you change anything on a rifle, especially bedding, or even how hard you torque the action screws, you will/may have to start over. It's happened to me. IIWY: go lighter and faster with that lead free. I don't really like the Nosler lead free E-Tip bullet myself. Hornady GMX seems fine. Really I use TTSX or LRX. I am frustrated that I did not get through working on Hammer Hunters. CEB are nice looking but the only ones I've sent down range were in testing xxx/26-Nosler "wildcat" designs. My 284/26-Nosler (aka 28-Nosler) was made by rechambering a 7mmRM barrel in a R700. It shot great for me. I traded it for an antique target rifle. I have not heard bad about it. If you can't get the 7mmRM to shoot, rebarreling and changing to 28-Nosler should be a piece of cake, however, I haven't done that kind of work on a M70. If it is not a controlled round feed there should be nothing to it. If it is a controlled round feed it may be a little harder but not too bad. [/QUOTE]
