I don't think the rifle either, now days like "RimfireNZ" said they come with a gaurantee.

I have since bought some Rem Core-Loct 140grn and a remarkable difference from federal 150grn, although bugger all difference on the elevation, left or right of the target is much different. I have read in US posts that when you go over 140grn in the 7mm08 the consistancy drops also, many posts recommend 140grn overseas, there were no NZ views.

All good now though, thanks for the advice and comments!!!

Didn't mean any offense about the shooter mate, but you know how it's often the case when people ask

Hadn't heart about the consistency dropping when going over 140g. I have a bunch of 160 Sierra game kings which I've been meaning to test. I'll give em a go at the next range day and let you know how they get on.

I've found the 139g SST's are good in my model 700, same with the 140g Rem core lokts. Haven't tried anything lighter, but I'm keen to give them a go as well.
