Chad recently finished up truing and chambering a Rem 700 LH in .300 Win Mag for me, this weekend I did my load development and wish to share the results.
I tried the new Hornady 208 and 225 BTHP Match in a total of 11 different combinations of powder, primer and bullet. Testing was completed at 300 yards, as 100 yard testing yielded one-hole groups with literally any ammunition. At 300 yards, my targets consisted of 1" self adhesive target pasters on a sheet of paper. The largest group was .8moa; 5 of the 11 groups were under .5moa and two of the groups were under .4 moa with the best group coming in at .303 MOA. (this is using UNPREPPED NEW R-P BRASS! Not even a case mouth chamfer)
I believe this kind of accuracy across a wide pressure spectrum can only be attributed to an excellent barrel (Rock Creek) perfectly machined and trued action, and a chamber with nearly zero TIR as the inspection reports he included show.
The work was done at a fair price and his attention to detail exceeded my expectations.
I will use Longrifles, Inc again and appreciate the excellent work. Thank you Chad!
