    Accuracy issue

    Bret, I remember when I could get all the 30-06 brass that I wanted at the range. Those days are gone around here. People get the brass and sell it to the pawn shops :(

    Accuracy issue

    Greg, I haven't shot this rifle but 40 times. As a result, I haven't even checked the seating depth yet. Before next hunting season I want to use only lead free bullets, so Barnes and Nosler E-Tip are on the bullet list. Remington Core-Lokts didn't shoot worth a flip, so I tried some Hornady...

    Accuracy issue

    You bet, Vince. I'll give it all a try. I'm sure this rifle must be a pretty good shooter. It'll just take some trial and error. Hopefully, not too much error.

    Accuracy issue

    Yep. I'm going to do everything possible to extend the life of the brass. The cost doesn't sound terribly bad, until one finds that there are usually only 25 pieces per box.

    Accuracy issue

    Thank you, Truck Driver! I'm going to scrape some money together and give it a whirl. I'll get some new brass too. I'll probably wait for my tax refund. :grin: That WSM brass is off the chain expensive. When I bought the rifle I worked as an ultrasonic inspector in the oilfield pipe industry...

    Accuracy issue

    Sounds like good advice. I'll try some 150's in a couple of weeks. I'll also try some different seating depths. I currently have 20 pieces of brass, looks like I'll have to pick up some more. I'm sure it could use a better bedding job. Don't know if I want to attempt the bedding job myself and...

    Accuracy issue

    Thanks, SJB358! It'll probably be a simple fix. If I can get it shooting like the Montana I'll be a happy camper. I like the Kimbers.

    Accuracy issue

    Thanks, JD338 Opps! I didn't mention that it's a 270 WSM. I checked the bases and rings for tightness, but I didn't check for torque specs. The barrel is spotless. I have only tried the 130's. Think I'll try 150's next. I guess I need to get a torque wrench and check the action screws, etc...

    Accuracy issue

    I have a rifle that I've only fired 40 times. It is a Kimber SuperAmerica. First, I tested a box of Remington 130 gr. Core Lokts. I started sighting in the scope at 50 yards. This is a good Leupold VX 3 scope that I have used on another rifle. Then, at 100 yards the groups opened up to about 7...

    That's good. I'm afraid I'm gonna need some help with this problem. Hope I didn't get a beautiful lemon.

    Thanks, DrMike! Well, I haven't fired this rifle very much—40 times. It is a Kimber SuperAmerica. First, I tested a box of Remington 130 gr. Core Lokts. I started sighting in the scope at 50 yards. This is a good Leupold VX 3 scope that I have used on another rifle. Then, at 100 yards the...

    Thanks, Truck Driver. I could use some advice, but not sure about a 35 Whelen. lol I have a 270 WSM that shoots dead on at 50 yards, but throws bullets all over the place at 100 yards. Not sure where to post this, but I'll look at the different sections.

    Hello to everyone! My name is John, and I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I started reloading when I was about 15 and things progressed from there. Currently, I reload for 6.5 x 55, 270 WSM, 308 Win, 30-06, and of course, the 30-30 Winchester. There is always room to learn new things and I...
