I purchased more ammo of different grains and brands, but I havent had a chance to try it because I disassembled the rifle to clean and to see how it works, and I removed the barrel.

The barrel takedown nut was a lot easier to remove than to get tightened properly. None of the tools I have will get a good grip in the tight space there.

I ordered a tool online and hopefully I'll get the gun back together again and test the other ammo soon...

I'm also ordering parts from Remington for it, like more takedown nuts, firing pins, and other parts that might fail someday way in the future. I'm also getting the synthetic stock and forearm, so I can keep the wooden parts home when I'm just knocking around with it...
