[tlsmith22]

Just picked up the 300wm I was having built. These are the specs.
Manners EH1 carbon fiber stock, swamp camo, pillar bedded, flush cups bottom and left side
Proof sendero carbon fiber barrel, 9.4 twist, Rhian Mantha reamer used for 215 Bergers
Remington 700 action, B&B, bolt fluted, knob added and cerakote by LRI
HS Precision DBM bottom metal
Triggertech trigger set at 2 lbs.
NF base and rings
NF ATACR 5-25x56 scope MOAR-t reticle
MK precision level

Total weight with the NF is 10lbs 12 oz, I also have a Zeiss V6 in Seekins rings I put on to check weight. It was 9lbs 11 oz

That is a sweet looking rifle! Please keep us posted on how well she shoots.

Nice set up! It's gonna shoot as good as it looks. Well done.

Supposed to rain 2 inches tomorrow but I may get under the hay shed and play around with some loads. I have 3 lbs of VVN570 I hope it likes with the 215 Bergers.

I think it will like it if you can get enough in to pressure it up. Can you get 82 grains in?

 

[tlsmith22]

Idk, I haven't tried yet. I haven't heard of anyone shooting quite that much though. That sounds very compressed. Any recommendations?

I'm not exactly sure on the WM but I run about 84 grains in my 300 PRC S.I. I would start about 78 if I were you

Gorgeous rig

Love the inlaid casing in bolt handle....

Did you come up with that? Clever regardless and adds serious character.

Are you braking it or suppressing?

Solid rig, congrats!

I hit pressure with N570 at 85 grains in a 30 Nolser. The 300 WM is not going to get their. I did not find that my RM reamer was much better than the SAAMI reamer velocity wise. I would guess your going to find a node around 78-80 grains of N570 with a 215 but I have not used N570 in a WM.

Nice rifle!

That's about where my 300 S.I. hits pressure but it's at 3200'

Where is accuracy? The 30 Nosler even with a long throat is absolutely not going to get a 215 to 3200 even with 99 grains of h20 capacity. I am going to have to break down and order a 300 SI barrel.

I don't run them there but have reached 3215' with a 215. My hunting load is 3050' with a 225.
I have a 28" barrel

I didn't come up with the inlaid case. A buddy of mine over on SH had I 6.5 CM I bought off him that had it, I really liked that touch. I tried to find a piece of Lapua brass for it but didn't have any luck.
