The 300 Norma is under appreciated. This should be a fun rifle.

With WIN brass I've loaded all the way up to 59gr of H4831. It's on the warm side, and DON'T TRY THAT LOAD WITH REM BRASS.

Another one hooked!

Ok, I stand corrected. Caribou. "I shot it 3 times and it didn't even slow down", just sounds like too many elk hunts I've been on. My deer/antelope bullet for the .308 is the 150gr BT, but for anything bigger, I'm with you GuyM, I'd step up to the 165br AB.

Welcome to the world of Elk Hunting. This is a good example of why we say they are tough, and not to be under estimated. Unless you score a hit on the central nervous system, don't expect an elk to react to the shot. This is especially true for public land elk that have been pushed into you...

Making a partition is almost like making two bullets. The jacket is extruded in two directions, (which is a modern wonder in and of itself) two cores to cut, two cores to seat, one point to form, and another core to lock in place....and you have to perform all these extra steps in a way that...

Absolutely awsome. A+

I learned about rotational speeds on the internet as well, then had to have a physics student explain it to me. One additional note, if you are going to shoot hard cast bullets, take lots of jugs. The only things that I've ever had shoot through a stack of 10 was a .41 mag with a 250gr hard...

Once a bullet is launched, for all practical purposes, it's rotational speed remains the same. It has something to do with "The angular conservation of momentum".

I have one in .270, extremely accurate. They are highly under rated by folks who have not shot them.

Years back a guy from Virginia decided to go antelope hunting with me. He thought I was crazy using a 20x scope and checking zeros every 100 yards out to the end of the range, 500 yards. He wanted to use a 75 yard zero, which he insisted was plenty far, but I insisted on a 250 yard zero. Once he...

I shoot alot of STW, no way 3700 with 140gr bullet and RL22 is correct. You might be able to get close with a case full of WC860 and a 30" barrel, but you would need a slow powder with a long barrel to get anywhere close to that with acceptable pressure levels.

Adam, in the thick woods of PA, I would tend to agree with you, it doesn't make that much difference. Out here in the wide open west, it's a little different, and I appreciate the benefits imparted by increasing velocity. LIke Dr. Mike, I load for accuracy first, but I try to find that...

With Winchester brass I was loading 72gr of H4350 behind the 225 AB, and getting 2900, and 3/4 MOA groups. It's a max load. I would not try this load in the thicker, Nosler brass. In addition where you are using the thicker brass I would begin with your faster powders, i.e, 4350, then H4831.

Those 140's should be awsome in your rig. I would start with the same OAL as well.

This is your answer.....with standard primers it should be easy to get this load to shoot.

Muleman, you have two different lots of brass, that's why you have the big gap. Keep your lots seperated, the 60 that are within 1% will make three nice boxes for serious work. The rest, use as you see fit.

That's why you always shoot elk twice. Regardless of how big your rifle is, or how good you think your first shot is, hit 'em again and be sure.

Gunsmiths like it because it has no belt. Accuracy guys like it because the short fat stature is an inherently more accurate design, just take a look at the winning benchrest cartridges. They give you the extra umph in a midsized action, but they are not powder hogs like the RUMS. The 300 WSM...
