    Range Report What shooting defect is this or is it he load?

    Picked up some 168gr amax for my .300 win mag as I had to wait for my normal 190gr SMKs to get here, seems they are in short supply. At 100yds: My fist load was light with unfired brass at 2,754fps using 75gr H1000 but they grouped ok at .32moa for a 4 shot group after the first cleaner...

    Range Report .300 win mag new load problem

    I was going to throw this target away but it is keeping me awake at night. I shot 6 shots with a new COAL of 3.51" using 190 smk's loaded with 64gr of IMR 7828 SSC and magnum primers. Previously I had shot the same load with a COAL of 3.44 and they grouped pretty good, generally under .75MOA...

    .300 win mag COAL of 3.541 - seem long?

    I made up a new tool to measure my throat free bore on my .300 win mag. I drilled out the back of a 240gr SMK, soldered in a 1/16 copper welding rod that then sticks through the primer hole of a sized cartridge. I turned the 240gr SMK down slightly so it fit freely in the cartridge but didn't...

    floating barrel clearance

    What is the recommended clearance for a floating barrel between barrel and stock? I have a B&C stock, I assume it is fibre glass, it has about business card or better thickness of clearance and just wondering if that is enough as the gun seems to be sensitive to the front rest I am using at the...

    .300 win mag load with IMR 7828 SSC and 190gr SMK

    I'm having pretty good luck with 168 smk's load with 71 gr of IMR 7828SSC. I can't seem to find a load with 190 smk's. I tried around 70gr and they seemed hot, so I dropped to 67gr and they seem hotter. I have some flat primers with very slightly raised dimples. According to the books I...

    Range Report decent 300 win mag box ammo

    I am shooting inexpensive Remington core lokt 150gr and Winchester 180 gr power point as I get used to the gun, etc. What would be a decent ammo for target shooting that would be a few notches above the hunting ammo? We plan to reload the 300's as things progress (after my brother sold the...

    new gun ballistics question

    So I took my new 700 XCR Tactical Long Range in .300 win mag to the range today, bore sighted it at 50yds and then took a few shots. The group was good of course at that range. With all the screwing around with everyone wanting to shoot it, I quickly ran thru a box of 150gr Remington Core LoKt...

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    So I agonize for over a year and finally select the gun after looking and handling probably 50. I find the right price, order the gun, fill-out the paperwork, begin waiting my 11 days here in California which is bad enough. Checked UPS today after the FFL didn't have it: San Pablo, CA...

    .300 win mag bullet tips on inexpensive ammo

    I am new to long range shooting and bought some inexpensive ammo to try out a new gun I bought. If all goes well, I'll be at the range this Saturday for the first time with this rifle. As far as ammo goes, I bought a box of Winchester Super X and another of Remington Core Lockt to break-in...
