aaaaahhhhhhh!!!
another proud owner of a 39 barrel!!!!!!
i have the same outlook on mine, much more accurate above 100yrds than the 30/30
with handloads or factory ammo. even russian loads...
i've been try'n to tell these people, its not the barrel that won't shoot the russian stuff....
its the fire-pin design.......
but thats been taken care of on this end!!!!!!!!
and the 310-311 diameter.... the handi's .308 can't tell the difference
in accuracy.
i have infared scanned the chamber and barrel areas after shooting the russian ammo...
maybe 17 degrees more heat is generated with the 310-311 stuff.
thats not alot to worry about......
its a fun shooter......
