slow barrel

[Bsnyder]

What do you guys do if you have an extremely slow barrel. Heres the deal. I have a model 70 in 300 wsm with 400 plus rounds through it that i for the life of me can not get any speed out of it shoots very tight groups but to the tune of 3020-3024 fps with a 165 grain bullet and thats .5 grain below where i hit pretty stiff pressure. I have tried 6 different bullet weights 7 different factory options and every powder known and unknown for the 300 wsm. im about at a loss i would love to see this rifle speed up but i cant get it to do it. So do you re-barrel it and try something different? suck it up and shoot it because it is shooting .28 if i do my part. open to thoughts here. what would you do.

My opinion is accuracy is more important than speed especially with today’s scopes .

.28 is pretty sweet................. would you would rather miss faster? grin

FWIW, I have more than a few buddies that have been very disappointed with customs that don't shoot nearly that well.

I wouldnt call that crazy slow by any means. Besides at that accuracy I wouldnt bat an eye. Shoot with confidence and dont over think it!!

see thats why i ask but its with such a light bullet, if it was 200/215 i dont think id care as much.

Depending on what you are hunting its plenty big enough. I've shot elk with 165gr and 200gr both accubonds in a 300. All died the same Just make sure you choose a quality bullet on the bigger critters!

It’s a 165ttsx looking for down range energy the country I hunt opens up in a hurry and most shots are 350 plus

Forest k think your right is over thinking this to much time stuck inside instead of shooting has any one seen h4350 running around online? I have a bunch of other loads ready to go because I can’t find it. I think if I could find it this may not be an issue
