I just stumbled on what i think is a good deal.
Found a pristine condition Cooper custom classic model 56 left hand in 300 win mag. (paid 2700$ Can, or 1950$us)
first group i tried when i got it on paper with factory trophy bonded tip was right at 0.51moa for 3 shots.
Don’t really like the recoil though and would like to build a reduce load around 30-06 velocities for most of my hunting, and keep the factory for more important hunting trip for moose and the like.
I tried 5 shot with 69gr of imr4831 behind 180 NBT, 3.340" Remington 9-1/2M primer. It shot in 0.875" velocities around 2875-2900.
I see 69gr as the minimum in many books, But Hodgdon list 1 load at 67.6gr with a different 180gr bullet.
Can someone run a quick load and see what’s the minimum load that turns out?
Thanks
C.H.
