Daryl, thanks for the information. Never thought about the chamber plug popping out. Shame I would much rather have a lower pressure rimmed cartridge, but what the heck.

I shot the 30-06 yesterday (40 rounds Remington Factory 150 GR CLSP) first six shots at 25 yards barrels R/L printed on top of one another, 3 inches low and 2 inches to left. I adjusted the scope and at 25 yards the groups ended up at POA slightly over 1 inch.
At fifty yards the groups opened up slightly however I played with the jackscrew and the six shot group was POA and measured 1.5 inches. At 100 yards after 10 rounds the group was 1 inch low and measured 2.5 inches center to center. I made a slight elevation adjustment and ended up with a final group of 3 inches POA. As mentioned I fired a total of 40 rounds and all seems well. I have made a habit of swabbing the barrles out between shots. I must be the luckiest person in the world, both rifles have performed better than I could have imagined.

4seventy stated earlier, "you haven't got much to lose", "you have plenty to gain", truer words were never spoken. I'm one happy double gun nut.
