Thanks - I guess. I understand that every rifle is different. Some like brand x ammo- some don't. All I was looking for here was: My rifle likes brand y - 1xx grain bullet with xxx powder. OR My rifle doesn't like brand y - 1xx grain bullet with xxx powder. I was looking for a starting point. It seems no one has or wants to give that info. This was not intended to be a discussion on the accuracy of the rifles/ bolt vs. auto./ hunting vs. bench/ factors in accuracy/etc Lord knows there are enough post about these issues. I'd appreciate any info anyone has about loads they have used and the results. If not thanks anyway.

Sorry if this was taken as badmouthing the R1. This post was not intended to be a downgrading of the R1. So far I've been very pleased with the operational performance of my rifle. My intent is to try find out if anyone has recommendations for loads for the the 300WSM. The trigger issue - can someone explain how to adjust the springs? I'd be more than happy with the groups you have posted. Thanks

Well, I was just out shooting my R1 300WSM. I was a little diappointed to say the least. It would shoot two shots pretty consistent and then throw the third shot high (4-6"). Any ideas on what might cause this? I was shooting 150grain winchester supreme ammo. I do reload but was able to pick up 8 boxes of factory ammo cheap and hoped I might get this thing shootin decent enough to hunt with. That may not be the case. Any recommendation on some bullets and powders others have had some luck with? Are the 15o's too lite? Also, is there anything I can do to lighten the trigger or is this best left to a gunsmith? My benelli shotguns are the cats ***! I hope this R1 can shoot better than what it is now.
