My 300 Wby shoot cloverleafs with 180 gr. Hornady sp bullets which is good enough for me .

I would like to hunt deer with my 300 wby mag. What would be better to use 150 gr, 165 gr. or 180 gr. barns x or nosler bullets.? I heard the 180 are more accurate?? Premium bullets are expensive and I don't want to purchase several trial boxes. Also I figure the 180 gr. won't do as much meat...

----------------------------- I am loading 30/06 reloads. Got a new set of RCBS dies. Why are the cases buckling and deformed at the neck when I seat the bullets??

they are RCBS - the dummy round is an excellent idea. THANKS M_S

what is the easiest way to set up dies to achieve the proper bullet seating for the recommended overall length ??

We use old wooden ironing boards. Cheap, light , compact and sturdy

I have 2 questions. First is I tried to seat the bullet on my 300 wby. mag as long as possible. It chambered, but the loads would not fit in the magazine so I seated them deeper until they fit in the magazine. I have a weatherby vanguard. the Second is - I have to really force the bullets into...

I have a 300 weatherby magnum. I plan on using 180 gr. barnes triple shock bullets. Will this gun take elk moose and bears efficiently??? thanks jrc
