    Newbie here...

    Hill, I own a Sendero blued in 300 win mag and I have had absolutely no problem getting 1/3 MOA groups with a little careful handloading. The best group I shot was a .55 inch 3 shot group at 300 meters with a bipod and sand sock. If you play around with your loads you should be able to get .5 or...

    Thanks

    I would like to thank all the members that took the time to respond to my previous posts regarding some troubles I was having with my rifle/handloads. I switched powders to H4831sc and immediately found a load that gave me well under .5 MOA with the same 200gr sierra BTSPs. The load is 71.5...

    sweet free balistic calculator, with MOA and mil's

    Re: sweet free balistic calculator, with MOA and mil\'s I think it has a couple of flaws. I punched in data for a 200 grain boat tail. As I increased the zero range from 200 yds to 260 in 10 yard increments it would jump the other trajectory numbers up and down, it didn't plot right. Maybe I...

    Powders for 300 win mag

    W I have been led to believe that winchester cases were among best out of remington, federal and winchester. I'm sure that Lapua and Norma brass are great but they are difficult to get where I am. I personally have been looking at the cases from a consistency point of view and have found that...

    Powders for 300 win mag

    I have a question about powders. TO thins point I have been using IMR 4350 with excellent results, however due to conditions beyond my control and the advice of some other shooters I am looking to change up powders and would like some advice before I spend my money. I am shooting a remington...

    Advice needed

    I'm a little curious about powders. To date I've only used IMR 4350, and have had excellent results with it. I know every gun is different but I'd like to know what kind of reults other people have had using IMR 4831, H4831 and H4831SC, or Reloder22. Again the caliber is 300 win mag and the...

    What is the correct sequence and wieght for torquing action screws? I have always been taught that the screws were to be tightened to 65 inch pounds in that particular type of stock (kevlar reinforced fiberglass with aluminum bedding block).

    Advice needed

    I'm not seeing any flattened primers or craters, the bolt is not much stickier after firing than before. I am also not seeing any leakage around the primers. I think I will probably try the H4831 unfortunately it is a four hour drive to get any from where I live. As for how the damage to the...

    Advice needed

    While I'm at it I might as well ask this as well. I'm sure it's been asked before but here goes. Based on the load data above, approximately how many shots will a case last before I should toss it. I'm finding that when I'm loading shells for their fourth go around the primers are starting to...

    Advice needed

    In addition to the above post. The removal of 3/4" of barrel was required because there was ptting and damage inside the bore for almost a half inch at the muzzle. This I could see with a weak magnifying glass. As for changing powders I am going to see if I can add another half grain of powder...

    Crispin, I apologize if I came across the wrong way. I am in no way dis-satisfied with the work they did. In fact I am truly impressed with the amount of time it took them to finish the work. They had the work complete including the lapping of the bore which they did not charge me for within one...

    Advice needed

    I recently discovered that my Remington Sendero 300 win mag (which was shooting about 1/3 MOA with handloads) had suffered damage to the rifling at the crown. Needless to say the accuracy went in the dumps. I sent the barreled action away to PGW Defence Technologies in Winnipeg, Manitoba to have...
