[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 498163, member: 5302"] Kevin, M.J. Hull was also the one who clued me in as to why Remington round receivers are not a good choice for an accurate rifle with ammo shooting bullets heavier than about 150 grains. They twist too much from barrel torque while the bullet's going down the barrel and work loose from epoxy bedding. I'd asked him about why my Rem 700 in .308 Win. would shoot very well for a couple hundred rounds, then accuracy dropped off, but after rebedding the receiver, accuracy went back to excellent. Jim Hull asked me to check out the rifles used by folks winning the matches and setting the records. And also the Remington field rep (Ikey Starks) who won the highpower Nationals in 1965 using his Win. 70 rifle 'cause he also knew the Winny was near three times stiffer than the Remmy and held bedding good enough to wear out 2 or 3 barrels.
