Thanks! I went back, and revisited the load again yesterday. Here's my best 3 shot group @ 100yrds. I think I'm pretty happy with it. I plan to load up a few more, and check 200, and 300 yrd accuracy

BTW thanks for explaining that to me. I have never experienced it in the past.

Yes they were 3 shot groups. My accuracy went away at 74.5 opening up to 1.37". At 74.7 my groups were back to .95", and at 75.0gr they vertical string on me. My most accurate load was at 74.0gr. It gave me .79" 3 shot group at 3024fps av. I'm good with that velocity using less powder, and...

I am currently at the range working up a load for my 300wm. I'm using 180gr AB's over RL-22. This is a continuation of my previous load work up, but just changed seating depth. I started at 73.7, 74.0, 74.2, 74.5, 74.7, and 75.0. My question is has anyone ever seen velocity drop off by going up...

It's a Winchester M70 Black Shadow 300wm. It's a New Haven, CT rifle that I traded an old Glock for last year.

I will give it a shot! Thanks!

How far would you seat deeper? Would you try going in .002", or .005" increments?

Here's a quick pick from the range. It was a nice cool morning with temps in the mid 60's

73.5gr, CCI#250, 180gr AB, 2951fps. 2 shots in the same hole (upper hole). Then I had a flyer low. I'm not really sure if I dropped this round, or if it was a true flyer. I may revisit this one again just to see. If not 73.2gr of H4831 will be my load.

73.5gr, Fed#215, 180gr AB, 3020fps 73.0gr, CCI#250, 180gr AB, 2923fps 73.2gr, CCI#250, 180gr AB, 2932fps

72.0gr, Fed#215, 180gr AB, 2958fps center 72.5gr, Fed#215, 180gr AB, 2962fps lower 73.0gr, Fed#215, 180gr AB, 3005fps

Made it out to the range today. I worked on some 180gr AB loads using Federal#215, and CCI#250's. I have already worked up a load using CCI#250. So I started at 70.5gr for the Federal primers. Seems like the Fed 215 are a good bit faster, but not near as accurate. 70.5gr H4831, Fed #215, 180gr...

I will be watching this. I just checked the site out, and looks like I would need the .223, and 300wm trimmer. They list the 300wm trimmer as doing 7mm also .

That's Great! My 6yo son, and 8yo daughter knows the names for each component, and helps with placing bullets on the cases when I load pistol rounds on my Dillon. They really enjoy shooting my ARs when we go to the range. Just remember we need to make sure our little one clean there hands after...
