I need to go to the range too. Have to break in the barrel on the new rifle and work up a load for it. Then stretch it's legs and see how far I can take it out.

Ive decided I am going to pay attention to the 7mm mag in the safe. I havent worked on or fired that gun in probably 18-20 years. Was my main whitetail gun for years.

My buddies father owned bachelder gunsmiths around town. He had his hands on the trigger assembly and made it nice and crisp. It was so long ago I forgot the poundage but you put your finger on the trigger when you are ready to send it and not before lol.

Mine is one of the first Remington 700's with the carbon/fiberglass (Bell & Carson) stocks. I got the barrel free floated, action bedded, the bolt lapped, and a Timney trigger set at 2 lbs.

Was shooting 140gr ballistic tips. Now using the Berger 168gr VLD hunting bullets.

There pro's and con's to that. Couple of the barrel makers say that you don't have to break them in anymore. I'll fire one shot and clean the barrel. I'll do that about 10 times. The main thing is what the patches look like with using Sweets 7.52 cleaner. If the patches come out dark green. You have a lot of copper in the barrel. That means you still have a rough spot in the barrel. If the patches come out with hardly any green, the barrel is broken in.
