I bought my 700 Classic used a year after it came out. Seems the previous owner didn’t like the recoil with 250 gr loads. I traded a lousy shooting .338 WM for it. It never liked 200 gr Remington loads but settled down to bughole accuracy after about 50 rounds down the bore. The sweet spot for it has been Federal 225 gr TBBC and 225 gr Partition hand loads. It kills things junkyard dead. I haven’t used it much the past 10 years but it’s going elk and bear hunting this year. My .30-06 gets the least amount of play time it seems. Happy Trails
