Thanks!

I bought the action from Travis and supplied the stock and barrel.



Was out again this evening and popped off a few 168's down it.
If this chamber is only good for 180's and bad for 168's I'd like to see what a chamber set up for 168's would do.



After 60 rounds down the tube I decided to go ahead and clean it with Montana Xtreme 50, a copper killer.

.....I could get no sign of copper on a patch after letting it sit in the barrel. Usually, I get a blue streak, nada blue at all.
Cleaned it out, ran some Montana bore conditioner down it, went to the range and shot the above 100 yard group.
Really just experimenting with cold bore shots and how the rifle would react to cleaning. I get to know my rifles this way so no surprises before or during hunting season.

I was pleasantly surprised.
