I had one a few years ago. It had a strange habit of moving bullets left about 1 1/2" after the barrel warmed up, which took 4-5 shots. I got a screaming deal on a 358 bolt and swapped it off for something else I had to have. It is a great cartridge, and I love the BLR as a woods gun. I kept the 308 BLR made in 1980.
I think it does it's best with 200-225 gr bullets. A person on another board had to have some 250 gr rn Hornaday's for his so I split what I had.
