Thanks JD. The 300 is new this year and I don't have a lot of range time with it. After this years hunt I will take your advise and play around with seating depth. It's not uncommon for me to shoot #1&2 tight and #3 out a bit with this rifle. Don't know if it's me, the rifle or the load...

I am almost ready for this years hunt. I have my 300WSM and my son's 7mm-08 and 6.5x55 ready to go except a few minor scope adjustments and some field practice. Here is what I came up with this year. Man, you gotta luv them Partitions. Savage 7MM-08, 160gr Partition, 47.5gr Ramshot...

I agree, "blown" primers are a sure sign of high pressure, but the OP said "backed out' not blown.

Isn't a "backed out primer" a sign of low pressure, not high pressure?

The 1500 Combo has a 2 year limited warranty. A quote from the 1500 instruction manual. "LIMITED WARRANTY Congratulations on the purchase of your new RCBS Electronic Powder Handling Equipment. Your new Electronic Equipment is warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a...

I disagree. I've had my Lyman 1200 for almost 4 years. Just last winter the keyboard quit. I sent it back for repair. Lyman replaced the keyboard, repaired the hatch on the back (that I broke), gave me a new check weight and powder pan all at no cost to me.

I have a Lyman 1200 and it works great. It is very accurate and since I installed the speed upgrade kit, very fast.

Now, that's funny. :)

It is most likely correct. If you have one, check out Sierra #5 and the 300WSM. There are several loads listed where the 180gr have more powder than the 165gr.

Does your once fired FL sized brass chamber without a bullet seated? How did you set up your FL dies? Do you have a case gauge like the Stony Point (Hornady) that you can take a "Head to Shoulder" measurement before and after sizing? My guess is that your are having the same problem as...

Gone already!

I load for three 300WSM rifles and Ramshot Hunter is clearly the powder of choice in all three.

First, you need to supply a bit more info. For QL you need to supply Cartridge, bullet, powder, COL and preferably case capacity in grains of H2O of a fired case. Second, I have been told that the makers of QL are getting POed at all of this free info being handed out on forums like this...

I agree, go with the heavier bullets in your new AI toy. Or should I say your new Shoulder Thumpin AI toy. You are a better man than I if you can run 50 rounds through a biggin like that in one day. Sounds like a great rifle. Don't worry about the naysayers and the like telling you you...

Hey POP, Nice job indeed! May I make a suggestion without sounding bossy or holier than thou. Next time you take your son out shootin, how about a nice pair of shooting glasses.

I found 7828 to run pretty close to what QL says in my rifle. Accuracy is very consistant and repeatable 1-1 1/8 inch groups at 100 yards with 180 Partitions. I can get Sierra 180 GK to shoot sub MOA, but I do not hunt with anything but Partitions so that means very little . Here are the...

I had an old Rem 700 30-06 laying around gathering dust. I was never impressed with the accuracy of this rifle and it was ugly. I desided to spruce it up with a new laminated stock and an AI conversion. Man did I catch a lot of grief from my fellow shooters and handloaders. I was told it...
