[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1174264, member: 63138"] Made it to the range with the new 300 WSM. I had 5 rounds loaded with 66.0 grains of RL-26 behind a 200 grain ELD-X (Fed 215 primer). At this point there were zero rounds down the tube so I fired one fouler and then 4 shots for a group at 200 yards. They landed in 1.969" center to center or roughly 1 MOA. Not bad for a complete guess as to powder. They averaged 2,868 fps. I had the ELD-Xs 0.006" off the lands. From other rifles they also work 0.020" off. All in all they seem pretty easy to get to work. I've now got a ladder loaded for another trip to the range. On the top end, I managed to get 68.0 grains in this Norma brass which should give me about 2,954 fps. Hopefully groups will tighten up somewhere in that vicinity. [/QUOTE]
