jtoews80 I have to agree with YoteSmoker 6.5 would be great I just would build a 6.5 RSAUM just me you know its the air down south off you.
Hope your enjoying the weather up there it's going to change.

Thanks jmad_81 that's the same twist as or close to the 1:9.125 in my sons Rem. VTR. Was thinking the twist was a little fast for the55gr. and would have to use the 70gr. bt but I think we'll give the 55's a try. have you tried any of the Hornady V-max.
Best Alan
30-338 witch of the Wyatt's mags. are most going for the MBE-4 or CFE-5 My smith would like to try one there harder to get up here Wyatt had a license issue but sure that's been taken care of so any suggestion a big help.
Thanks Alan
Have you tried seating less then 2.86 My son's 700 shoots 150bts at COL of 2.860 at .030 off the rifling's but his OAL to the rifling's is only 2.890 with 150gr. BTs.
Best Alan ; PS. I would have on problem seating deeper or adding a shim as a pressure point at the end of the stock just to try.
Seems like every one is getting guns out a ready for them there varmints Now I'm looking had at H414 (W760) it will or look like it will work in the 300WSM and 300RSAUM just in case the 243 doesn't. Many using the good old H414.
Thanks Alan. PS> if this 243 thing works out I'll have to get one .
4350 seems to be be coming out on top I think I'll try it in the H type and give some RS Big Game a try to as soon as the weather warms a bit. Loading for my eldest son he picked up this 243 in a Rem. 700 VTR it seems to like Win. factory 80s & 100s so hoping the 70s will be a good fit.The Rem...
Thanks guy's JD338 IMR 4895 is a good old stand by the load sounds good, 30-338 I've been using H4350 in some other rifles may try working a load up with it have to find a starting load .the Ramshot I may try is Big Game has a burn rate right around RL15.
Thanks for now Alan
I need help with a powder for this combo. Any powder that usually works. Have been thinking of trying something in the Ramshot line this time just not sure.
Thanks Alan
Kimber on Monday going to let the smith have a look. Pop have my brother looking for Factory loads in Calgary today and thanks for the quick load data. 30-338 the OAL is 2.80 with the 180s and well off the lands .
Thanks guys all good suggestions from ever one will look in to them all further...
JD338 if it was the firing pin spring would the bolt lift not stay the same it did get stiffer with the 180s. Factory loads I will try ones I get to a city to pick some up not available close.
Thanks Alan.
Desert primers look fine. New Ced chrono Monday hopefully and chamber seems smooth to my eye but the local smith will be home from hunt trip Monday to. And I only have a stiff bolt lift the cases extract no problem.
Thanks Alan
Has any one had this happen? I loaded some what I thought were light loads to do a barrel breakin on my Rem. BDL SS 300 SAUM. The load was 130gr. sp Hornady over 53.5gr. H4895 and with some of the rounds the bolt lift seemed a little heavy but with such a mild load thought it was just me. So got...
Hi I'm working up loads for my 270 CDL SF using 130gr. SST's my COL with comparator is 3.800 the bullets are seated one cal. in the neck up to Hornady #7 book max of 62 grs. H4831sc the only book that high but no pressure signs and 7/8 inch 3 shot groups. I'm now going to try seating deeper see...
