Thanks Brad, a lot of us look forward to that.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Since this has had so much interest over a number of years and applies to virtually all bolt actions and not just Kimbers it would be nice if we could get the pics restored and pin this thread to the top.
Ric? Rick has nothing to do with it... photos got deleted off phtobucket when it changed. I plan on re-doing the entire thread with new pictures and additional information... when this old timer gets around to it  That would be very kind of you. Thanks.

Nice write up thank you. 👍
Also thanks to whoever bumped this old thread up. I like seeing how other guys do it and make adjustments as needed in my routine. Very helpful thread.

Going to go thru this checklist after the holidays. Good stuff in this thread!

Excellent thread Brad & all.
I’m enjoying my 1st Montana in 30-06 and sure enough it’s feeding rough. I’m going to run the whole rifle thru the list of tweaks and get her ready for next season. I did find that 55gr of Imr 4350 under a 180gr anything will make big holes - which led to excited feeding which led to awareness that something wasn’t quite right.
Be well buddy!

Pints POC, I kinda just got into the Montana's and Dave7mm mentioned using a little STP Oil treatment on the lugs, and I mean just a small bit on the finger tip. Besides lubricating the lugs, a bit of it got on the rails and probably on the follower and man, it smoothed up feeding in all 4 of the Kimber SA's. When I first started running them they were rough as a cob comparing them to 70's.. Give it a try, only out 5-6 bucks..

Yesterday I coonfingered one of the new Montanas in 308 as part of the mid-life crisis that I'm hitting at 62.
Anyone else tried them?

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.
