[QUOTE=".gacton, post: 1484379, member: 103805"] I am loading for a Remington 700 Long Range, 1:10 twist, chambered in 300 WM. Action has been bedded, Timney trigger installed, along with a brake. Using 200 gr. Hornady ELD-X, Hornady brass, CCI 250 primers, and Reloader 22 powder. After almost giving up on this bullet/powder combo, I have finally gotten it to shoot a decent 3 round group. When fired at 3-4 minute intervals, I can get a 3/4" group from this load, running 3050 fps. Usually this group has two almost touching and one slight flier. Is this the best I can expect from a factory Remington barrel? Am I pushing too fast, as a good friend has suggested? If this is as good as it gets, I will continue to play with it until I burn out the barrel and re-barrel. The plan is to deer hunt with it until the day comes and I have the chance to get out West on an elk hunt. Any ideas/suggestions appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
