[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 665989, member: 33822"] I think you're on the right track to hold accuracy #1. Although it seems like your velocities are a bit low for a 300wsm even for an accuracy based load... If you're at 2850 right now, I would think you might be able to find another accuracy node in the 2975 - 3000 and still staying under max pressure. Although, all guns are different and you know your gun best, and based on your 500 yard max range, I think you'll be just fine even for elk with your current 168 vld load. Not sure what elevation you'll be hunting at, but as long as it's 5000 ft or higher, your bullet will be above 2000 fps and 1600 ft*lbs of energy at 500 yards. That will get the job done. But if you can get either the 168 or the 190 to shoot good at a higher velocity you won't be wasting your time considering you're elk hunting. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
