[QUOTE="D.ID, post: 478534, member: 14340"] I had bean using 180bst at hot but not max 3025ish loaded 2.855 for my 24" tikka 65gr of h4350 and a 215 in win brass produced .5 constant 3-shot........two shots overlapping every time and the third going .25"high and right. light barrel heats up after two but if I let it cool completely down in between shots you can overlap them all day if I do my part. Recently switched to berger 190 VLD and it overlaps them all day anyway at 2.904" 62.5gr h4350 and a 215 in win brass produces 2875ish and shot so consistently that if one of those rounds do not overlap even in a ten round string I messed up. I bought a bunch of them and have not used any thing else threw that gun since. I love the wsm cartridge but if I where going to shoot any heavier of bullet in it I would use a long action and a long throat in order to maintain case capacity. My rifle does not like accubonds and does not shoot the lighter bullets nearly as well.
