I have a #3 in 223. I relieved the wood from touching the action, put some bedding at the for end and
have a hard plastic shim jammed in between the hanger and the barrel. Did not shoot well before doing
these things to it (#1 in 7x57 done same way).
It shoots Nosler 40 gr BTs, Barnes 45 gr TSX and 63 gr Sierras best. Everything else shoots more
of a pattern than a group.

The trigger could use some work, but it is good enough to hunt with.

Currently loading 40 BTs and 65 gr Sierras for hunting bullets for varmints and deer.
