My Model1sales 300 Whisper Just Arrived
Hey guys,
My 300 whisper upper just arrived. I haven't really had a lot of time to play with it yet however I did get a chance to put 5 rounds through it at the local indoor range.
I was shooting 220 seirra's in 221 fireball cases with 9.0 gr h110. The spent cases ejected properly but it would not strip the next round from the magazine. I was only loading 2 at a time in a 20rd DMPS plastic mag but it always looked like the second round was being over-ridden by the carrier. Manualy cycling the charging handle loaded the round properly. I worked the charging handle a few times and it feels like the bolt-carrier is riding rather roughly in the upper. I'll sit in front of the TV and cycle the gun a few times to try to work it in a bit. I have a Model1Sales 6mm PPC varmint gun that used to fail to load untill I had let the carrier wear in and now it cycles flawlessly. I'm loading another 50 rounds with 9.1gr of h110 to see if that helps as well.
So far my impression of the rifle is very favorable. The recoil is non-existand. It sounds and feels like I'm shooting a 22lr until you see the size of the holes in the paper!
