at scheels in reno, thats all they carry is 22-250 r1's. I asked him why and he said he sells them as fast as they come in. I guess to compete with the ranch rifle? idk.

[/img] hope this works, i'm not a computer guy. But this rifle in 300wsm only kicks like a .243 or less. Was a 200 yard shot in the neck.(that's all i could see) If i ever figure out the cycling problem with this gun, it will be my new favorite!

that is gorgeous wood or yours, wow! i wish mine had that nice but stock.

nice groups!

i dont know if i could ever trust a quick release mount, yeah i would like to use the case i like it a lot. too bad it doesn't have room for a scope to just leave on. dang,.

I came to here for help with my ARGO 300wsm. I got many good resposes. These suck you guys... Yeah tucker is a bit cocky we all know it but geez. Yeah 5 shots.... we know. Tuck you have helped me in trying to figure out this gun and why it is jamming. Thank you. Nightforce, get over it. You have a point, but it pushes others away from the reason why we are here. I guess i'm getting off the point here but we all should conduct ourselves better, both here and out there in the woods. Funny out here in lib land california, i actually try to help people instead of puttin my nose up to the flatlanders out there in their gaunder mountain gear. It's coming. The libs will get you too. Introduce a kid or adult to hunting and shooting. I'm scared here in cali because we push more away by the way we act. Who cares who is right as long as you can sift throught the bull to make your own decision.

Hey blueroller, you got it on this one man. The chamber is way out gunsmith said. This gun sucks.... Guess it's back to bolt action for me. Funny how a 1250$ gun can be this bad. wow. I do thank you all for the help. joe.

Ok i think i've got it figured out now. When i cleaned it this time, i looked down into where the spring on the piston assembly is. There is a tapered piece that must meter the pressure or something, but this part was very corroded. I know this gun was new and how it got that bad so fast is wierd. Anyway i hope that was it!

Ok now i need help. I brole it down and cleaned it very well, but it still jams! like 60 percent of the rounds stovepipe, but the next round is in the chamber. I dont get it.... I shot a 2inch group today at 200 yards. I used my handloads, and federal fusion loads. It jammed with both of them. Please help me figure this out, i only have ten days till idaho!

Just got back from the range. THe R1 shot very well. Only shot it at 100 yards. The groups were inside one inch. THe load i used was 67 grains of RL22 with 165gr nosler partition bullets. The only thing is the necks on the winchester brass cracked on six of them, anybody know why that is?

Thanks for the replies. Yeah that first 20 was factory winnchester nickel plated brass. Maybe that too, could make the cases bigger... Anyway, after i thought about it the 300 savage rounds i loaded up i had yet to try them in the model 99e. Well same crap! Well i guess i sound really smart about now but i've been loading a number of different guns for years. I always heard that the autos were difficult, along with the 300 sav. So, i have two weeks to elk season, and i hope i can get this done. I thank you guys a bunch for the help. I guess i can just drive down to the RCBS main office its only 70 miles away from here. I'm off to cabelas in the morning for my SMALL base dies! I'll get back to you guys.

Howdy. Yep, i'm new here! Anyway i traded an ounce of gold for a 300 wsm R1 NRA gun. I mounted a varyx3 on it and shot it for the first time yesterday with winchester bal tip 150gr. It did ok for an auto, being i was not on a bench. The gun had never been shot, but after the 10th shot things got wierd. It stovepiped a lot and was all over the place. I brought it home and stripped it, cleaned the bore, and the piston. It wasn't that bad. So then i went to the bench and loaded up the 20 rounds i had shot earlier. Well, when i put the first bullet painted to find seating depth, it wouldn't go in. I called my old man and asked him what i did wrong. He asked if i had bought rcbs dies. Yep. i did i told him. He said take em back if you can. You need redding dies or any other make of dies. Rcbs makes no small base dies for that caliber. So i'm just wondering what could cause this gun to jam being new. I did oil all the parts before i went out. Thank you for any help. joe.
