Jim's specific concern was the "squeeze" causing an off center bore. I'm not going to argue with the guy, but he seems uninterested in doing doubles.

I thought a 303 was .303", it's .312" my mistake.

We'll have to agree to disagree regarding the monos. I shoot monos exclusively in my Merkel, but would not dare in my Vintage rifles.

In fact, I don't like shooting Woodleigh solids either. I will only shoot them enough times to find a regulation load. After that it's Hornady softs.
