[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1185502, member: 307"] JJ, I like the .300WinMag also. Currently shooting the 208gn ELD-M to .5 MOA @ 3090fps average. Using Alliant RL26 with BR2 primers. During load development w/RL26 I tried all the major magnum primers and accuracy just wasn't what I was after. Took the advise of another LRH member off the Extreme Long Range thread. He was using standard primers with this powder also. Young kid (18-19), built his .300WinMag and is shooting out to 2000yds. I figured he must be doing something right! Switched to BR2's and there it is. Other than a Rifle Basix trigger, muzzle break and recoil pad, it's a stock Savage 112 BVSS. Considering turning this in to a switch barrel platform and getting a 7mmRemMag, 1-8" twist, 28" to go along with the "3 hundred". If/when the original barrel goes south I will definately replace it with another .300WinMag. Oh, by the way, it is 52 year old technology. Came out in '63 like me! :) Here's a pic of my iron. It's not custom but it shoots **** good. Took my Leupold 6.5-20X50 LR/T off and playing with this Millett LRS A-TACS 6-25X56 for now. Hopefully this one (3rd from Bushnell) holds up better. It's a .1 Mil - Mil Dot bar, so between it and the Nightforce NXS w/MOAR I'm getting some experience with both reticles, seeing the differences and having a blast. Nightforce rides on another Savage 112 in 6.5-284 Norma, so trajectories are pretty close. Good luck with your new .300WinMag! Keep us informed and send some pics when your get her. JohnnyK [/QUOTE]
