[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1324630, member: 84595"] I am curious if people are loading towards land, similr to bolts. If not, why not? I am loading to the length Nosler specifies. I am getting 1"-1 1/4, with partion 180s and IMR4350, 54.5 to 55.5. Having trouble settling on load. Leaning towards 54.8 or 54.5. Need to see what it does past 100 yards to really say. These guns get bad reps, not sure why. Does seem to heat up fast. What I don't like is you have to slam it hard, where as a bolt as long as it is closed you are good. They are louder to load too, which I don't like. Retired mine for 10 year, and then last fall took it out started loading for it. Shot a buck last fall. Then put a timney trigger in this spring. Don't know if it was really worth it, but I had some extra money. People complain about triggers, but I though ok. 5lbs, no creep, to me. I did buy used, so no idea what has been done with it. Safety is quiter than 700, but I don't like them down by the trigger. I did pull it apart, and replace the oring. Which is something oould probably do again, after I find the right load. Should have lube it when doing range sessions. I am not sure the parts are that different, atleast for small stuff. Lots of little stuff on Midway. You may be right on some stuff though. I havn't tried to find a barrel for it. [/QUOTE]
