38.5 grains H380, CCI 250 primers, Sierra 55 gr Spritzer

I have had good luck with Leupolds. Don't consider .300wm a cannon.

Evenings are best. Hunt near water and places where it is relatively easy to get vehicle to. Moose are big animals.

The 6mm Remington is based on the 7 x 57 (7mm ) Mauser. Perhaps you could find some 7mm Mauser brass and neck it down, or have a friend do it.

Could it be a dirty/oily chamber, hence, case failing to seal?

I believe flat base bullets are more accurate as long as they are sonic. Boat tail has an advantage because of higher B.C. and are more stable when they go sub sonic .

Buy a reloading manual and read it; also instructions that came with die set.

Several years ago I talked to a sales rep when I was going to buy a safe. He said dial locks had about 1% failure, and electronic locks had about 2% failure. I bought the dial.

My varmint rifle did this with one brand of bullet years ago. Changed bullet brand, problem cured. I think it was out of balance bullets causing the drift. Just my guess.

I am old fashion (and old). Many mule deer shot from sitting position using sling - the way we were taught to shoot in the old days.

Looking at the view from the top, it appears the scope is not parallel with the receiver. If that is the case, use adjustable rings such as Leupold and their bases or contact Browning about issue of base screw holes being out of alignment with the receiver and bore.

You are loading 52 grain bullets, but attach Nosler info for a 50 grain bullet. A difference.

Could be the result of the bluing salts, especially between the barrel and receiver. Oil will take care of that.

The Lyman is especially good for handguns and cast bullets. Many of the handgun barrels that are tested are 4 inch.

I takes about three days for me to get a barrel really clean.
