Always nice to see a 300 H&H without a pad.... I like the 300 as well. Very nice...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Checked the action screws after I posted that picture and tightened them all up a bit. Maybe with those screws tight and the right hand loads she will shoot Irish groups.

Lovely all the way around. The one in the OP shines silver where she was touched, we hear the purring.

Did a little load development with IMR4895 and 168 gr Speer HPBT. 49 grains was the ticket. ![[Linked Image]](http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx32/madisonvalleywapiti/1938%20Winchester%20Model%2070/V__E7D8.jpg)

That's 5 shots at 100 yards at 0.89 inches. Now to work up a load with Nosler Partitions and maybe some Accubonds.
