After owning and shooting my Remington 700 classic factory chambered in 300 Weatherby magnum since 1990, and running an average of about 250+ rounds per year, I have noticed the accuracy degrading. Also 2x fired collet sized brass will not cycle because the brass has expanded beyond max COL.
I have a feeling the life of my barrel has passed. I have tried all different factory handloading bullet weights and charges nothing seems to work. So I have come to the conclusion that I need to rebarrel.
I talked to a Gunsmith and they quoted me a price of $500.00 with a stainless, 27", crowned and threaded for muzzle brake, 6 grooved, medium contour barrel installed in either 300 Weatherby or 300 RUM. I have reloading dies for both calibers.
Are their any suggestions; if so why?
I am pretty impressed with my sons 300 RUM accuracy. No matter what we fed it it never shot over 1.00"@ 100 yards.
Sorry for the long run onset I just didn't know how else to get my thoughts out here .
