    300 Win Mag Howa 1500 Prefit Help

    I have spoken to Shilen, Criterion, and Preferred Barrel Blanks so far. I really wanted a hand lapped new barrel for this Howa 1500 action. It has served me well with just over 1,000 rounds through it. Using ELDX 200 and 212 grain bullets exclusively with H1000 ranging from 75 to 77. It has been...

    Inconsistent Results with Same Charge Weight

    Hey guys, I'm developing a load for my 300WM. Currently working with Hornady brass, ELD-M 208grs, H1000, and Winchester primers. During my initial ladder testing, I found 73.5, 74.5, and 77.0 to be the best charge weights. But, when I loaded up two, 3-shot groups for each of those three weights...

    Rem 700 LR Seating Depth

    Gentlemen, I bought a Remington 700 Long Range chambered in 300WM and shot appx 150 rounds of factory ammo through it before I got into reloading for it. Using a modified fire-formed case and the Hornady OAL gauge, the bullet (Hornady ELD-M 212gr) doesn't touch the lands until the bullet is...

    Gunsmithing 300 Win Mag/ How does barrel length change velocity

    Pretty cool test my buddy and I conducted with his 300 Win Mag this week. We used a sawzal and hacksaw to cut the rifle from 24in down to 16in. Funny shit, damn did this rifle take a beating. The AI stock and Leupold held up to a ton of abuse. I was sitting on the rifle while he hacked away...

    Question About Rebarreling to Larger Caliber

    Hi all, I'm considering my options for a future build. If I build a custom .308 rifle based on a long action (Surgeon/BAT/Defiance), what are some problems that may arise if I want to rebarrel to .300 WM or .338 LM after the .308 barrel has been shot out? Thanks for your help.

    Loading 300 winmag "jammed'

    Just starting to reload, is it generally considered safe to load rounds "jammed" into the lands? I'm starting at the lowest suggested load and working my way up in .5 grain increments. Is this a good plan? How do I know if a manufacturer's maximum published load will fire safely jammed? Any...
