    Lol! I sight in or help people sight in rifles all the time, just to see their faces when they start hitting targets at 400 yards or more!!! No payment required! But a light weight 300 WinMag wouldn't be my first choice!! Ouch!!

    Yep, I've got one. Cooked up some hot 200 grain loads for African plains game and the bench sighting sessions were no fun. At my age and shooting style; the dang thing jumped out of my hands each shot.

    Funny; the jumping out of hands thing didn't happen when shooting game.

    I think they were tumbling. If tumbling, they don't always show the full profile, because like a spun knife, sometimes they almost hit the point and you don't get the profile.



    When Charter Arms was making a five-shot 44 special revolver, the Bulldog, they had trouble with tumbling. Back when the American Rifleman was worth a damn the NRA tech staff tracked it to a barrel constriction at the frame connection point. Perhaps the throat was reamed improperly, or the bullets were undersize and didn't take the rifling. Sometime rifles just don't like a particular bullet, and maybe some version of this rifle's problem is the reason. I'd love to see the rifle and mike the bullets.
