.300 Win Mag

Well, after the storm of the sister in law's illness arriving, things have eased a little here at home, managed to break in the barrel at Llansillin a couple of weeks ago, now working on load development, at present I'm insisting it feeds on Ramshot Magnum, Mag primers & Hornady interlock 180's, a visit back to Llansillin yesterday yielded some encouraging results,@ 200yds on 80 grains powder, will be changing out the scope & getting a pull weight more suited to me, for further working up in the tenths towards the top book load @ 83.8

I use Ramshot Magnum to feed my 300 WM. Works a treat. I emailed Ramshot for a recipe of max loads etc and they were very helpful, however my rifle would not achieve max powder weight due to pressure.
My rifle likes 79.5gr (just below pressure signs) with the 208gr AMAX. Accurate round achieving less than 1/2 MOA and not pushing it too hard at 2800fps. COL is max magazine length without feed fowling. I also crimp my rounds with the LEE factory crimp and it seems to work for me with producing accurate rounds. With accuracy comes confidence.
Good of luck with your load development.

Cheers Tam, I think when I get a better firing position at Sealand, instead of standing on an empty ammo box, in a pit too deep for me, will help a little with the stringing.

I chrono'd my 208gr load on H1000 (max load of 78gr) and was a little disappointed as it came in around the 2700fps mark
After reading all the american forums who swore blind by the stuff and were all getting 2900-3000 out of 26" tubed Senderos I was expecting more out of mine despite the shorter barrel.
Can't complain about the accuracy and now I have some proper MV's I am hoping to combine my newly purchased LRF and recently swapped target turret scope to ruin the day for any Hoodie crows that think they know where they are safe!

Nothing quite as fun as full bore hoodie extermination.
need to step up from a 130gr .270 as my round of choice
.300wm seemed the logical step!
Just changed out the scope, bore sighted roughly, will be on paper at the range....using this,

Good scope choice Finnb - I really like my IOR - especially for range work!

Yeah, I do have all the Vits, but I also had my mind set on feeding it Ramshot, had some great performance out of the 7mm with it.
