My 300 wsm only likes Hornady IB and SST. I personally don't think pushing SST's 3300 fps is a good idea. I'm looking for some Hornady 150 IB's which they paused production . I'm willing to trade a lot more than the bullets are worth. I have NOSLER .308 165 BT 180 AB NOSLER .270 130 AB 130...

Uhh I guess I should get some Imperial case lube.Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! I am also a big nosler fan. I have 23 empty Nosler boxes in my reloading room and that's after I started collecting them . I have killed everything with NBT and NAB's since I started reloading 8 years ago.I just wanted to try something different this year . I will post...

After a long Summer of shooting I came up with the most accurate load in my 300 WSM. It is the max suggested load for the 168 VLD with H4350 which is 65.5. I will be giving them a chance this season, but I will be changing shot placement from front shoulder to the rib cage/ lung . I would...

After resizing 40 300wsm casings I noticed that each casing had a dent on the shoulder in the same place. I cleaned the die but didn't find any obstruction. I've seen this before.What causes shoulder denting?

Thanks Guys! I think I will take HT DUCKS advice because what he said mirrors what I almost did yesterday. While I was waiting for the range gunsmith to adjust the trigger on my 300WSM ,I was looking at the the sparse selection of ammo behind the counter and there was one box of Hornady...

I went to the range yesterday with my Stepsons 243 Handi Rifle. I had 4 loads with different powders and two of the loads had COAL of 2.710 , 2.750, 2.800 and 2.850. They were all loaded to shoot right under 3000fps and ALL of them performed horrible. They did shoot under 1ft at 100 yrds. My 300...

I have loaded 300+ rounds with my new toy and I love it. It has been exact every time ...Awesome! That's not what I'm writing about though. Please tell me there is someone else out there that has dumped powder all over the counter because they forgot to close the drain before adding a new...

Thanks 30-338 ! that read answered all of my questions. I appreciate all of the responses from everyone. There is no other reloading or hunting site on the Internet where everyone is so helpful, cordial and full of reloading knowledge. Ya'll make look like a scholar when I talk reloading with...

Uh...WOW! A sportsman's lottery.

Thanks ,Rick.

Dr.Mike I am intrigued by all of your post and I have to ask. What is it that you do for a living? It seems to me that you must be a doctor or have a PHD in ballistics....a Shootologist maybe. Is it possible that you work up loads and break in guns for money? That would be too cool of a...

I have one more question tonight. When I test some of my close to max loads, I shoot 3 or 4 times in a row and my shot string climbs from touching bullets to 1-2 inches high. Is 3 or 4 in a row too many. Is the heat causing this? I know better than running a half a box at a time but it just...

Thanks! that's what I hoping to hear. I am itching to try them.

My stepson killed 4 this past year with 33.5 4064 95 gn NBT. I wanted a load that would stay under 3000 fps and be forgiving on the shoulder.

What is a good COAL to start with ? I will be loading 165 AB and Sierra 165 GameKing.

I bought some Berger 155 VLD's for my 300WSM. I keep reading that they are supposed to be loaded to the lands but my Browning A-bolt only allows me to fit COAL at 2.870 . That puts me way off. Should I just save them for another gun or has someone had success loading them with mag restrictions?

I am so envious of all of you who can go out and shoot in the open terrain at 400,500 plus yards. I would be a reloading, long range, goat killin, prairie dog shootin junkie .I'm stuck fighting bugs and humidity with 200 yard shots and ranges 30 minutes away that are only open to the public Fri...
