    300 wsm not being consistent during development

    Well, that’s my screw up. New Nosler brass is 13 grains heavier than the new Norma brass. Also explains a bit of pressure signs I saw today that I didn’t have using Norma. Interestingly, I have 120 pieces of old Nosler brass a friend gave me, and they weigh the same as my new Norma stuff. Seems...

    300 wsm not being consistent during development

    Probably the next thing to do is just that rather than just assume their the same. Didn’t realize Nosler makes some of their own brass.

    300 wsm not being consistent during development

    I’ve read and heard of many say Norma makes Nosler brass. But I was just going through new Norma brass, ran out and just grabbed some new Noslers. Simply a matter of being a little lazy and not resizing yet.

    300 wsm not being consistent during development

    Just got this Tikka T3 back from the smith a few weeks ago and struggling a little to find a load. It’s a stock T3 with the factory stock opened up a bit for a 2b benchmark barrel and bedded, 1-9.5 twist, 24”, plus brake. Intend it to be a hunting rifle. I have Nosler and Norma brass. I found a...

    Magnetospeed Sporter and suppressor mounts

    Won’t be in my hands for a long time, but ordered a TBAC ultra 7. Going to use it on a few rifles, some chassis PRS type rifles but also with some hunting rifles. I know some have just bought the V3 bayonet and it works with a can. My question is instead of spending $180 on the V3 bayonet, is...

    Suppressors Are covers needed?

    Maybe an obvious answer to some, but I’ve never owned a suppressor. Just put an order in for a TBAC ultra 7. Going to use it on my 300 wsm hunting rifle and a 6.5 for target/local comps. I shoot both a lot, but I rarely shoot more than 40 rounds in a day. Our local comps are smaller than say any...

    Leica 2800.com app vs kestrel

    I have a 2800.com on the way. Didn’t really see a huge need for it, but a buddy needed a new rangefinder and offered to buy my old one, so I decided to upgrade to the 2800. While I do own a kestrel, it’s not the 5700 so I was planning on trying the Leica app. I manually input some data into my...

    300 wsm load development and advice requested

    I had a Tikka t3x in .338 win rebarrelled by a smith with a benchmark 2b and chambered it to 300 wsm. I shot a box of Hornady precision 200 gr ELDX through it and measured 0.8” groups moving at an average of 2750 FPS. Today I had a chance to test my first round of handloads. I have 200 gr eldx...

    Load development: is the 10 round ladder test still applicable?

    Ok, sounds about what I’ve been hearing. So, I’m working with a 300 wsm. Have 200 and 212 eld x bullets, H4831sc, Norma and Nosler brass, and CCI 250’s. Going to start with 64 grains and work up to 66.5 or so. Barrel is a 1-9.5 twist and going to start at .04” jump. Would it be fair to just load...

    Load development: is the 10 round ladder test still applicable?

    I was listening to a podcast the other day and they were talking about how if you try and repeat the results of a 10 round ladder test, you’ll likely get different results (different nodes) each time. Basically calling it a shot in the dark for actually finding a repeatable node. Can’t recall...

    300WSM Load

    I’m also have a 300 wsm built off a Tikka action. Benchmark barrel 24”, 1-9.5 twist. I’m planning on using 200 or 212 eld x. After doing some research, I’m planning on using H4831sc starting at 63 grains and moving up. H1000 appears too slow for the smaller capacity of the wsm, from what I’ve...

    Annealing brass twice?

    I looked the cases over and couldn’t tell if they were annealed. Didn’t see the typical discoloration which made me doubt if I did anneal, but my brain is recalling I did do it. I’m not worried about if they’ll be more annealed, but maybe damaged? Probably overthinking it. I doubt if I anneal...

    Annealing brass twice?

    I have to admit I did something dumb. I got some once fired Nosler brass to reload for a new build. I deprimed them and cleaned them, but I can’t for the life of me recall if I annealed them. I usually note at what stage my brass prep is, but I forgot. I haven’t sized them yet as I’m waiting for...
