second, I think you are confused with the term keyholing. A bullet obviously should fly straight and stay in a spiral motion keeping it on target and flying correctly. Keyholing is when a bullet gets all wobbly in flight and when it hits the target, instead of punching right through it and leaving a perfect circle, it hits the target sideways and leaves the target with a "keyhole" shaped hole instead of the perfect circle. keyholing is a bad thing. basically with a gun that is doing that, itd never be accurate as a longer distance gun because the bullet isn't flying straight or consistent. Keyholing may not be noticeable at 100yds but out past that you may start noticing it. And when someone had this problem browning basically told them Oh well, we will only guarantee it to 100 yards. Which is JUNK and I'd never buy one on that principle anyway. Not to mention look at what your military and law enforcements shoot. If they aren't shooting custom made guns, most are shooting Rem700 or at least guns with the rem700 action. |

Heres the article. Only thing I see is that he should've maybe tried alternate brands. he did try several different grain rounds but all hornady. but still all in all browning should have at least looked into the issue. Cuz they lost a customer and that customer has put his experience out there and Im sure have affected the purchasing patterns of many more potential customers.
Oh and the people at browning told him they only guarantee their rifle to 2MOA at 100 yds. Heres the article: http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/forums/...hp?f=8&t=69585 |

I have a new Winchester SXR in a 300 wsm. I went thru several different boxes of different shells, shot a box of each before I found what it liked. I never dreamed it would shoot a 150gr core lokt in such a tight group at 200 yds. It blew the winchester ballistic tip, horanday st's & horanday preimums, federal preimums, vital shoks, etc.....out the water! Basically the cheapest bullet shot the best, who'd a thunk it! I was ready to throw the rifle in the garbage! |

I have the Browning A-Bolt in 7mm rem mag with the B.O.S.S which allows you to tune your rifle to the round you chose to use. Its black/synthetic topped with a Swarovski 5-30 x 50. Very clean rifle. Lightwweight and deadly accurate. Most Brownings come with adjustable triggers, which is nice. With a little bedding work and blue printing, Ive got this rifle at 1.25'' at 500 meters with hand loads. The only complaint is the muzzle pressure tends to turn people off at the range. It can be bad at times. Most def should have ear plugs at the range.
It's a great rifle. |

I just cant see that kind of accuracy coming from a non-heavy barrel, hunting rifle. I mean your putting a hunting rifle against guns that people pay $4000 for and getting the same results. I find that very hard to believe |

Heres my set up: I tuned my barrel which involves trying varying amounts of pressure against it at different points. Aka, shimming. I had it bluprinted, making all the parts that make up the action square and true to the bore. Had the trigger lightened up. You can get a factory Browning down to 18 ounces safley. A little experimenting with rounds and grains that work best. That's about it. It's not impossible. Quote:
