I've dealt with "extra" bullets on the target in previous rounds, previous decisions were based upon the caliber of the round in question: different caliber gets discarded, same caliber counts. Huntress - looks like you got unlucky twice, not only your target got shot, it got shot with another...

Take that target tomorrow, add two more dots - and plug 'em :) You already got a bullseye - and they seem pretty hard to come by ;) groups #4 is the worst of 5 bullsyes and with 2 missing that makes average suffer (to infinity that is).

284Win or 6.5-284.

Just unbolt the recoil pad, fill it with sand, one layer of masking tape, trim the tape, bolt the pad back one. I've done it several times to either reduce the recoil or to balance longer rifles (or both). Makes big difference.

If you have synthetic stock - fill it with playsand, it will absorb a lot of recoil.

I would recommend 223 or 22-250 for a ten-year old. Accuracy trumps everything else. Put a bonded bullet in the boiler = enjoy life-long memories without a scope-eye. 7mm-08 can be finicky to find a load, it kicks like 308 but delivers less bullet and energy - and who care about BC at 130 yards?

You know, the regular "jam". You pull the trigger, recoil felt kinda harsh, a bit of smoke from action, the bolt don't move now ... Possibly blown out primer, swollen cartridge, maybe split neck .... In traditional design rotational torque advantage on a cam lets you either get the case out, or...

Sooooo, how much fun is it clear a jam in one of these?

Go shoot!!!

Too bad the only good thing about 700 action is the footprint ... and that's debatable. If you reload - you can use a sized piece of brass for the go/no-go gauge. Vise and wrench will run $100. I don't like to chase my brass two-three lanes over at the range - ejection is not a problem for...
