I live in Colorado so we hunt here a lot. It was really good, my buddy came with us on his first hunting trip ever. He hammered a nice 5x6 mule deer. We also put some meat in the freezer with some does. I am heading out for Elk this weekend so we will see how that goes. On a side note I was...

Hey fellas, Previously I posted about 2 rifles that went from shooting sub .50 MOA groups to not shooting worth a s**t. Anyway I took many of your advise and checked all the bases on the scopes and to my dismay when I pulled the scope out of the rings the bases had gouges in them from recoil or...

I have a browning M-1000 Eclipse that I load with 61.5 grains of H4350E. Not IMR but I shoot .375 in groups at a 10 yards with this load. It's a hammer. I never have had luck with IMR powders, Hodgdon powders seem to work better for me. Just my info. D

I have a 2 lb can of VV N550, that I bought in Sept. 2006. It stayed in my garage all year inlcuding the summer. My estimates based on the direction the garage faces and the year we had that it would have been consistently 80-85 degrees in the garage this summer possibly more. I wonder if...

Wow a lot of information to respond to, I appreciate it. I checked the rifles and was able to tighten the rings, bases, mounts and action. They were not real loose but I just cinched them down to reasonably hand tight. I never played with this before, becasue I thought there was specific...

Rifle info: Browning M-100 Eclipse 7MM WSM 160 GR. Nosler Accubond 61.5 GR H4350E 200-300 rounds Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker 300 WSM 180 GR. Nosler Accubond 61 GR VV N550 100-200 rounds Truth of the matter is I have not been very diligent about trimming the cases, that was one thing I...

I wanted to see if anyone can provide me with some insight on were my problem may lie. I have 2 rifles which are about 2 years old. Both rifles have been great out of the box. I have been able to create .325" inch groups out of each rifle on many occasions. However, both rifles have...

JD338, Thank you for the information that answers my questions better than I expected. I appreciate it very much Take Care, Derek

Do you feel that the 165 will have a flatter flight? I know a 165 will still get the job done on both species, but I wonder if the 180 grain will have a less accurate and less flat flight in a longer range shot. Derek

I was wondering if some of you may have any opinion on what the ideal bullet weight for a 300 WSM with a 23" barrel and a 1 in 10 twist rate would be. This is a new gun for me and I have been developing 180 grain Accubonds. But and I wondering if a 165 would be a better fit. I will use this...

I have a few questions that I was hoping could be answered here. Some regarding shooting some regarding reloading. 1_How many shots do you shoot prior to cleaning the barrel and why? I shoot 5 shots and then clean the barrel quite thoroughly, Is this to much or not enough.? 2_Is modern...

I appreciate the inforamtion. What was the COL? I am not sure how to messure of the lans. What was the powder chager? I have been shooting 67.0 Grains and it has not been the best, however, I have not had the boss at 1.8 yet.

I recently purchased a Browning A Bolt chambered in 300 WSM with BOSS, my concerns about trying to work loads and the BOSS on short notice has come to fruision. Browing has minimal data on the BOSS setting for this rifle and the data they do have is wide spread. They have one load listed at a...

I just ordered a Browning Composite Stalker in a 300 WSM with the BOSS. I struck me that not only do I have to get some loads developed prior to hunting season but then I also have to tune a BOSS system (Which I have not Idea how the BOSS Works). I remeber a while back seeing quite a few...

I load for a 7mm WSM. I use WLRM primers with Reloader 22. If I wanted to try out the Federal Match primers would the reloaders on this board recommend? The Federal Match or the Federal Magnums? I would love to try them out and just wanted to get the correct option. Thanks in advance for any help,

I appreciate the help. I have been pleased so far with the rifle and the performance of the reloads. I am just trying to explore other options and improve. Why shoot 3/4" groups if 1/2 or 1/4" groups are acheiveable? Thanks for the help guys. Derek

This is my first post on this forum and I would like to thank everyone for any help you offer in advance. I have a browning M1000 Eclipse in a 7mm WSM. I use this rifle for hunting but I do an awful lot of bench rest shooting with this gun as well. I am also fairly new to reloading and have...
