All the reviews I've seen have been for the 5.56 or 308 and they have been very positive. I was mainly curious as to the 300 wsm.

Hey guys, has anyone used this ammo before? If so, what was your thoughts on it? Also, looking at their 300 wsm 190 gr smk's, is this too heavy a bullet for the wsm to launch? I only have experience in the 150-180 gr range. My rifle didn't really like the black hills gold 180 gr accubonds...

Thanks guys. Ill start reading

I just want to increase precision as I have a 300 wsm that is a little picky about what it likes. More than likely I would go with the single stage because it would make me slow down and be more careful. I understand the need for the loading manuals but do they lay out the process or just give...

Hey guys, I'm planning on starting to reload within the next 6 months and was wondering what book or manual you guys would suggest to start with. I'm looking for something that will lay out the process. Any help would be great

Thanks for the help. The only reason I thought about the 200-210gr was it is Berger recommends a 1 in 11 twist while the 155gr is a 1 in 14 and the 185 I think is a 1 in 12 twist.

Factory ammo. Sorry should have mentioned that in the post

Hey guys, quick question. I have a 300 WSM Remington 700 SPS that is factory, no aftermarket parts yet. It has a 1 in 10 twist and does not want to group any ammo I've put through it mainly being 150gr silvertips and 180gr accubonds. I was wondering if stepping up to 200-210 gr would help at...

The guns both shoot fine to about 300 then the groups start getting bigger than I like. They are. Oth accurate enough that I wouldn't think twice about shooting a deer at 300 with them but past that I'm not taking the chance. Plus it gives me a new toy

Ok newbie has a dumb question. Which ballistic table should I be using for rounds like the ballistic silvertip or the hornady sst? G1 or G7?

Was that the 300wsm or the 7mm-08?

I do plan on hand loading in the future but right now I honestly don't have the time to do it right. It's just easier to pay a little extra for good quality factory loads. Up until this past year it didn't matter that much since my longest shot was just a hair over 300 yards and the black hills...

More than likely about once a month shooting several rounds each time. I figured that hand loading would give better results but is good hear decent results are available from factory loads. Thanks guys

Thanks. That does help. What grain bullet should I be looking at for this range? Sorry anything past 200 yards is a new ball game for me
