I have been using my 4-20x50 for about a year now, I have been very pleased, and am glad I chose it over the Leupolds I have been a fan of for decades. It has been over Jeep trail, dropped (stupid mistake), and generally put through the ringer, and no issues what-so-ever. This morning it was...

Has anyone loaded these bullets in Peterson Long cases with MagPro? Shooting them in a Sendero SFII. Primers I have on hand are CCI 250s. I also have Norma cases. I have a box of the 212s, 200, and still have a couple of boxes of 208 AMax bullets, but I haven't tried these with MagPro, I...

Thanks Len! During the week, I am going to allocate 20 minutes each evening for dry fire work. I want to be more comfortable on the rifle.

Thanks one and all. Muddy Boots, I got your process improvement meaning, been in and around the military far too long to miss that. Definitely need to heed the advice! I need more practice, that is the bottom line, I have been shooting for a long, long time, but never been this serious about...

Thanks! I was so frustrated with myself yesterday.

I spend a lot of time and effort making quality ammunition, then I go shoot and waste that effort. I need to learn to slow down, I make such simple errors, wrong dial up, incorrect yardage input into the ballistics calculator, incorrect wind speed, etc. I am tired of being stupid, and I need...

Answered my own question today. I will be sticking with 4955 in an effort to save bullets. I already have a load chronographed in the 2 cases I use.

So, over the years I have accumulated too wide of a variety of powders for my 300 WM. I have a pound and a half of about 4 or 5 different powders. RL 17&22&26, H4350, MR4000, then I have about 4# of MagPro, and I picked up 8# of 4955. The IMR4955 is every bit as temperature stable as they...

Thank you for each and every reply! I wanted this to see if I could track throat erosion, I feel it will be useful for that. I know how well this rifle shoots, I put a new Jewel trigger in it just before Xmas, and today I verified that it was still on by ringing steel at 200, and found a nice...

You’re both right!

Daughter bought me a Teslong for Christmas. Shocking how bad the inside of my Sendero’s barrel is. Chamber isn’t any better. Rifle shoots great, but wonder how much better it could be? Chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum.

Powder Valley has 212gr ELDX bullets in stock.

300 WM with 200gr Accubonds.

So today when I got home from work, I broke out my micrometer to take some accurate readings. Virgin brass measures .5090, the once fired average .5122 for a difference of .0032, this was across the starting to the top loads shot that day. My Norma virgin brass measures .5102, and the fired...
