Fed cases, not annealed, have been known to suck.

What does the original stock look like next to it ?

Memory is tuff... Gunny Hathcock won Wimbledon in 1965 with a 300, and I don't remember if it was a H&H or Win Mag. SFC Bill Davis won Wimbledon in 1966 with a 300 Win Mag using a Sierra 190 mk and 66 grains of IMR 4350... Davis was an AMU gunsmith in his later career, building long range...

What I do know, is: Back in the day, when Ray Sweet built the FBI rifles, the chrome moly barrel was a Douglas, and the stainless was a Hart. Remington used Hart's on custom shop 40x rifles. I've see a ♡ stamp on early m40A1's. Then Schneider on the m40xx's.... The US Customs shooter...
