[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 147943, member: 4950"] Wapiti, about the hot loads. I had been using the Nosler book's most accurate load for 180 gr NBT and RL22 in my 300wsm, 67.0gr, to shoot about 0.75" at 100yd. I had gone to the book max, 69.0gr, and things just got worse. Yesterday I tried going up again, starting at 68.5 and bumping by 0.3 gr. 86.5 was 1.5", 68.8 - 2.0", 69.1 back to 1.5", 69.4 - 0.5", and 69.7 - 0.6", all 5 shot groups. No pressure signs at the higher loads on a 50 degree day. It was pretty breezy so might do better in the calm. The public range was busy and I couldn't set up my chrony, so no velocity figures. At least in my gun, faster does seem to be better. As always, YMMV, work up to max. [/QUOTE]
