[QUOTE="flyin lizard, post: 383655, member: 10378"] I am no expert but I am in the process of load developement for my 300wsm. So far the heaviest bullet I have put thru it is 190 gr. The gun is a Savage mod.11 it came with a 24 inch pencil barrel which I just replaced with a douglas from SSS. With a good recoil pad I shoot from sand bags on a bench and hold the rifle with one hand when I shoot making sure I have good firm contact between my shoulder and the recoil pad. The gun rides the bags back about 2 inches. I have no problems with the vortex viper scope's eye relief. I am looking for load using a bullet in the 165 to 175 area ,telling you this to let you know I am not shooting heavy bullets right now , but even the 190's that I have shot did not cause discomfort. Since you do handload you can start with light loads and work up,gettind accustomed to the gun as you stretch its/your legs.. Good luck and have fun a 300wsm is really nice. [/QUOTE]
