well that barrel is gone, sold it.
Buuuuut I just got my new gun in. Its a weatherby vanguard in 7-08. I also purchased a knox axiom stock. Put it together last night with leopold bases and rings and a mueller 4x16x50. Pics soon.

A rifle will shoot accurate loads at normal shooting pressure.

Sometimes, some hunters, are not that accurate, so they adjust to hot loads.

If you want to shoot hot loads, find the appropriate rifle that fires those loads, as normal.

That makes no sense whatsoever. So you saying a bad shooter shoots hot loads well???? Whats an appropiate rifle? All rifles have to go off of specs of the caliber not the other way around

I have that same scope on my .17 Rem CZ 527 Varmint rifle....and LOVE it

let me ask this will one (same caliber ) rifle shoot a hot load but show signs of pressure in another rifle

Most definately. I was shooting 98gr of H1000 with 180gr bullistic tip in one 300RUM. 2gr over max, but shoot 3350fps, no pressure signs, brass lasting 5 or more fires.

Then I had it rebarrled with a krieger and I could't even reach 95gr without pressure signs.

I can't emphasize it enough, with a new rifle, start low and build your way up again. We had a rifle incident at the range. A rifle can blow up.

Another lesson I learned is if you build a load in sub freezing weather, be careful shooting that load in 90F day. I had a load that would shoot great when I made them at 12F, but one summer day it locked my brass up cold in the chamber.

I always found a very accurate load by loading within the recommended grain weight of the powder for that caliber.

+1

Also make sure to re-check/do your seating depth. Each time you have a change it's start over time - be that a rifle or component.
