[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1250796, member: 68875"] This summer, I did load development for a buddy on his totally stock Savage 111 LRH in .300WM topped by a Vortex PST 6-24X50. His criteria for loads were he wanted to shoot a 210 HVLD for all game out to 1000 yards. I went and bought 100 new Nosler brass, 200 new .308 210 HVLD, 2# H1000, 200 CCI 250 mag primers. Doing all brass prep, a full load workup from sight in with mild rounds and a ladder test at 400 yards, then charge weight testing at 100 & 200, then seating depth testing at 200. Then stock torque testing which played a major role in accuracy. Final outing was some longer range verification. Final load shot the 210 HVLD @ 2940fps into a 3 shot group @ 1.75" @ 616 yards, & 2.25" @ 727 yards. All on a stock rifle. I was crazy happy with the final outcome. Wound up shooting a total of 72 rounds for all the load development, then handing over his rifle with 100 loaded rounds. He killed a dandy Coues with it this month, but "only" at just under 400 yards. Makes me wonder why I spend thousands more on custom rifles for minutely better accuracy. [/QUOTE]
