I'm a good bore sighter, too. Can just about put one on the paper at 100 yds.

The Hawkeye borescope lets you look at the bore with a 90* mirror, seeing exactly what the rifling looks like, if there's throat erosion, if there's carbon build up or fouling, if there's pitting, etc.

That's about the velocity I was expecting.


Thats actually about the velocity I have seen with old Remington 117 gr factory round nose bullets. The Roberts can be heated up quite a bit over those velocities with todays powders....actually anything from IMR 4831, RL22,and others will do it as well.

Most all of mine have had 22" barrels but there has been a 24" or two tossed in along the way as well.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
