So how do you know if a barrel is rated for a bullet like 180gr?
troutbum I finally got to the range yesterday and shot the 783 for the first time, and I like it a lot. I tried a federal 165gr bullet and it performed "as advertised", but I still want to try a heavier bullet. I got the 783 for the weight aspect because my 700 has a weighted 26in barrel, also it was terrible to scale mountains with when hunting, even though i did it.
