[QUOTE="machgman, post: 1594794, member: 55107"] I have a stock Rem 700 BDL in 300 Weatherby. After buying and shooting some factory ammo, I went out and bought the Lyman handheld handloader tool, a scale, RCBS dies, a Forester seating die, a primer tool, a trickler, a couple of load books, powder, new empty cases, and bullets. I loaded 150, 165, 180, and 220 loads. All of my handloads (using standard load data) produced groups from .5 to one MOA. I have shot elk, mule deer, Coues deer, whitetail, and Texas wild pigs from 100 to 475 yards. All have been one shot kills and the Rem 700 in 300 Weatherby makes it almost boring, once I have a decent sight picture. I shot this rifle once at 1,000 yard shoot and was able to regularly hit the targets. All misses were my mistakes. A friend who is a far better shot than I, used my rifle and hit every shot on the 1,000 yard gong. Don't see or understand the hatred or dislike for this cartridge, as it and the rifle has performed and delivered the bullet to wherever I aimed it. Its been a reliable tool. Am I missing something? Should I have expected more like singing and dancing? [/QUOTE]
