I hear you about primer pockets. That was a going concern of mine until someone pointed out a you tube video about tightening the pockets. I made myself the little tools and gave it a try. Works like a hot ****. No more scrapping brass for loose primer pockets.

Barrel is well broke in. I’m sure it was just the brass. I need new stuff but really hard to get up here.

H1000 has been my best performer as I use mainly 200gr bullets and up. Federal primers have always worked well.

I’m working on the same load development you are. 300WM 26” Kreiger barrel. .005” off the lands. Ladder test at 150yds. 1. 70.9/2757fps. 13.74.5/2965. 25. 78.1/3081 2. 71.2/2761. 14. 74.8/2948 3. 71.5/2727. 15. 75.1/2963 4. 71.8/2849. 16. 75.4/2987 5. 72.1/2827...

Does anyone know if testing has been done on cases of different weight. Wondering what velocity difference one could expect on 2 identical prepped cases with identical load and bullet but 1 grain difference in weight. Looking at a 300WM and a 205gr Berger bullet.

I want to work up a load with the Berger 205gr Hybrid in my 300 Win Mag. Can’t find data anywhere. All I need is a min and max load with H1000. Would be appreciated.

Had a great load for 210Matrix in my 300WM. Now cant get Matrix so I figure Ill see about these 200gr ELD-X. I will be using my goto H1000 and Federal match primers. I want to try this Berger seating depth method so its find seating depth sweet spot first then OCW for charge weight correct? I...

In my reading its said that this cartridge is designed to be an easy build from a 300WM which is what I’m looking at. I currently have a 300WM on a post 64 mod 70 action trued up. On that I have a 28” medium heavy straight contour Kreiger SS barrel with 1-10 twist. I usually shoot 200 to 210gr...

I love the 300WM and have been shooting it for years. Gotta admit two things I don’t like are the belt and the short neck. Any such thing or any way to eliminate the belt and lengthen the neck? I don’t want to move up to the R.U.M. Because the WM burns enough powder as it is and supplies all the...

Did you find any good nodes below 3370? I’m using Matrix 105 VLD and my powder of choice has been H1000 and H4831sc. Problem I’ve been having is going close to 3300fps I get about 3 loads and the primer pockets are done. Also I’d like to get some life out of my Shilen barrel. So far I’m getting...

Been reading all the postings on these bullets. Just got a box of 210gr. VLD's in and will be working them up in my 300WM 27 1/2" Kreiger SS Match. For those who have developed a good load lets share some info and save a person a few steps, understanding of course every rifle will be different...

I recall reading about an interview with Billy Dixon when he was quite old. He stated the indian he hit wasnt the one he was aiming at. He also states it was the luckies shot he ever made and the unluckiest indian he ever met.

Went out the other day with 32 loaded rounds, all touching. Fired a few over the chrony to foul and settle the velocity in then did a 3 shot group at 300yds. 7/8" .2moa, fired a couple more groups over the next hour and both groups in the .2 and .3 moa. Doing the happy dance then the sun climbed...

Worked up a pretty nice load with my 300WM using these bullets, H1000, Fed215M, a new Kreiger 1-10 twist at 27 1/2" on a Win mod 70 action, mpi stock, pillered bedding, Wonder Optics scope. First thing I noticed was the velociies were considerably higher than the load data. Over 2900 with the...

Enter me in the Berger Bullets givaway contest.
