Ok, got home today and shot some Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip 165gr today. Advertised @2700fps, clocked 2682fps over the chrono. I thought that I had more factory ammo, but I must have got happy on one of my shooting sessions. If it didn't cost $45-$50 a box I'd just shoot those. I can't...

I havn't ran any over the chrono, but I thought about it last night. I still have a couple of factory rounds I can try. Good suggestion.

thanks sniper, I'll pick up some BL-C(2) and give it a shot.

Appreciate the QL, Sniper. I have H414, but isn't it slower burning than Varget, or is my thinking a little backwards? I've been meaning to get some BL-C(2) for another .308 in my stable but just havn't had the time. The main purpose of this rifle is whitetail and if i get lucky a black bear as...

I've had this BAR for a couple of years now and decided I'd give loading for an auto a try. I chose Varget to start with. I loaded three rounds of 43, three of 43.5 and three of 44 (havn't shot the 44gr yet) The bullet of choice is the 165gr AB. The biggest issue I have is the ultra low...

DrMike, I had the name wrong, its Independent Ammo, LLC. I hav'nt contacted them, but I assume that it is ammo that they load.

the rifle has had 72 rounds through it when I got it, and the bore was dirty, not all that bad , but was not super clean. Before I took the stock off, I shot the same ammo into a .630" 3-shot group at 100 ( did not have the chrono set up). While the stock was gone ,I took the time to give it a...

I've got some 165gr AB 300WSM ammo from a place called Independence Ammo that came with a rifle that I traded for. The label states velocity @ 3180fps, which I thought was a little high, but most labels are.The rifle is a Savage model 12 with 26" barrel. Today, I recieved the replacement stock...

thanks, DF ,very good information for me. I'm going to start neck turning on this 300WSM I traded for. I'm shooting the ammo that came with it to get brass, so when I get enough the game is on.

Well, its been awhile since this thread was started but I found what I was looking for. While searching for a Savage donor for my build, I happened to find the gun I was going to build(almost). Its a Savage model 12 that has been re-barrelled in 300WSM with a Choate stock. The barrel is the...

great videos DF. enjoyed every minute. Neck turning is my next venture, so I'll be waiting for that video. Thanks for the time to put stuff like that out there for those who like to see how other people do things.

Guy, I had an Encore Pro Hunter with .308, .270, and .300WM barrels and after ALOT of research on the accuracy potential and alot of fooling with it I sold all of the barrels except for the 300WM. From my experience with mine, I needed to dedicate one barrel to the frame I had because of...

I've got the same problem on the exact same chrony. The only thing I can come up with is the lighting kit, which I have not bought yet. I planned on using an old ( but good) battery and my inverter for the power source. I do have the luxury of having my bench in the field behind my house, so I'm...

OK, short action it is. On the stock, I'm partial to fiberclass for this particular project, B & C, HS, or Mcmillan.

I've been wanting to build a 300WSM for awhile now, and I think I'm going with a Savage donor. The question is: Could I use a long action for this to ensure enough mag length, or just stick with a short action and work with the barrel maker (probably Shilen) on length of throat? I assume it...

I'm shopping for mounts on my Sako, and I'm having a hard time finding some that looks like they'll hold up What kind of mounts work well on a Sako AV? I know that ram161 uses leupold, but I'd like to hear from...

i have a 5-0-5 that I don't think is right. I've tried everything, but just don't trust it. I can calibrate my RCBS 750 and weigh a charge and they're totally different. My 5-0-5 reads 463.4gr for a 30gram check-weight when it's supposed to be 462.9 (462.97 to be exact). I start by zeroing and...

I tried some Varget and had some better velocities and accuracy at 39.5-41.0 gr (maxed out at 41.0, or at least as far as I'm going anyway). Here's my BIG problem, my ES was 114fps on a 3 shot group with an SD of 57. HOW???????? :? :? :? I shot this load last Friday and accuracy was great...

OK, I shot this morning and was pretty dissapointed in velocity(as usual). I loaded some IMR-4350 to start with. 44gr: great group excluding a fouler and pretty decent counting it (.245" two rounds, .874" including fouler) 2340fps avg ????????????? 44.5gr : .636" three shot group...
