PygmyRem 700 Classic ...8 x 57
I don't recall of reading any reports on the Classic in this chambering... They've been out long enough so that somebody must be surely be working up loads and hunting with them..
How is the accuracy...??.. How is the performance on game..??..
Have 1 but I haven't had the chance to do alot of load work with it.Using IMR 4064 with 150gr & 175gr Sierra's,150gr Hornady's,and the 180gr Ballistic Tip.Shot them all good all avg 1 1/2" or less at 100.With the slight edge going to the B.T. over the others.
The dab blame Deer wouldn't come out to play with it.
Plan to play with the seating depth on the 150's as well as a couple other powders.

I have a pre-wart 700 ADL (walnut stock) with a Douglas barrel that will do 0.5MOA with good loads (target available). It is for sale, if you're interested.
