You might try putting a bit of light pressure about 2-3 inches back of the for end tip by tearing off a piece of standard target paper, folding it over and place as mentioned. Re-torque the action to specs and give that a try. I had a sour shooting rifle that this worked great afterwards.
I've got a problem child. The reason I ask, I have a fairly expensive 270 that from the get go coppered up more than my other rifles. Moreover, it doesn't shoot as well as others have that I've talked to that have the same rifle. But, that for later.
I took my Hawkeye tonight and looked at the...
I'm a bit surprised about the Elk. I wouldn't have thought that as they're a pretty decent size animal...what, about 800+ pounds?
One of the reasons I was looking into the 6mm I saw one advertised, A 1969 Remington BDL Varmint rifle, and was giving some serious consideration to it. I don't...
It could be with the twist they offered they must have figured it was a varmint cartridge and then the 243 outsold the 244 and that pretty much sounded the death knell for the 244. Even after they saw the error of their ways and renamed it and changed the twist the mould was already set by...
I am the happy recipient of about 200 old style Nosler 7mm 140 gr Partition bullets. Why the old ones? They shoot the lights out in my M70 7x57. I had a box and a half of the old ones and was astonished how well they shot so, I went looking for more. It seems some fellows hoarded these back and...
I remember many moons ago I wanted to get a Remington 700 in 6mm but never did. What happened to that caliber, you seldom see any rifles for it anymore? Maybe I need to get out more.
I don't know how well you're heeled but here's another...

Keep the 243 and just get another for 250-3000. I have a Predator Max1 in 243 and with the Berger 105 Hybrids it's a tack driver. I worried about stabilization since that bullet is so long but was pleasantly surprised by it. The 90 gr bullets do superb as well. Me-I'd keep it as is.
It's had 250 rounds through it and coppered up pretty bad after 20 rounds each time. I ran an unknown amount of KG2, JB Compound and not a lot of good. It seems to be doing a little better but not as good as my M70 7x57 from he same manufacturer.
I wouldn't think the Sako is hand lapped but...
I just recently bought a Hawkeye bore scope with the 45 degree attachment and wish I had bought one years ago. Concerned about the barrel on my M70 270 was the primary reason for getting it and after I got the barrel as clean as it was going to be I ran the probe down the barrel. Now, I'm a...
I only have one S&W revolver left, the M29 6" barrel. Regrettably I sold a Model 15-3 about a year or so ago. It was the most accurate revolver I've had.
It wasn't the recoil that bothered me it was getting slapped in the jaw with the stock. My jaw actually swelled a bit and was sore after I got home and that's when I decided maybe someone else could handle it better than me. I shoot a Browning 45-70 and can go through 30-40 rounds of 520-535 gr...
