With a barrel twist that slow and that short you're going to be limited on the size of the bullet. I probably wouldn't go over a 180gr at all. My savage 10t-sr barrel is 26 in long with a 1 in 10 twist and I shoot 178Gr eldm and 208gr eldm. I'm using h1000 powder at 77 grains for the 178s at...

I use match bullets in both my 300 win and 6.5 creed and have never had a problem. This tank of a bear a got two years ago was with a 143gr Sierra match King out of my 6.5 vanguard.

My uncle has used it exclusively in his 300 weatherby mag for almost 50 years. He is in no way a precision shooter but is the fastest reloader you will ever meet. LOL! He simply fills the shell to the top, wipes off the excess and loads his 180gr round nose to sammi OAL. Don't know how he's...

If you're a online shopper at all powder valley has had h1000 in rotombo pretty steady for the last month or so. I used to run my stuff as fast as you are but one I backed it off 200FPS and my group tightened up dramatically. My problem over here in Idaho has been finding mag primers for the...

You're definitely not getting all you can out of that gun. I have the same weapon and I'm shooting .25” and 100 yards and easily smacking 12" steel at 1,000. I'm doing the same thing with bumping the shoulders back and putting .02 tension on the neck. I've never annealed a single piece of my...

I have never been able to get my 300wm Savage to run any Berger at all. Hundreds of dollars burned up down that rabbit hole.

My biggest problem with shooting apps is the fact that North Idaho has such dramatic elevation and temperature changes that simply driving a mile or two up the road can make a huge difference in where the impact is going to be. I always had problems with strelok myself. When I figured out the...

If your going for a budget tuner then I would definitely look at the one from Midway USA. It's the first one I tried and I think it was about $30. It only reduced the recoil by about 30%. If you're trying to find one that's for a pencil barrel I would say whetherby accubrake $60. It's just about...

Ive been using 200gr eldx in my heavily modified 300wm savage 10t-sr for three years now. It took a while to find the sweet load since i ignored bullet jump and just fit them to my clip. I bump the shell back 0.005, seat them them to they fit in the clip, push them with 74.5gr of h1000 or 72gr...

I've been running 178gr eldx at 3050fps and 200 grain eldx at 2950fps for 3 years now in my 300 win mag and had great results. I tried eldm in 178 grain and 208 grain and they simply did not expand that well at a thousand yards. Berger juggernauts did pretty well too but my gun does like them...

I now know in my 300 win mag a 200 grain eldx leaving the barrel at 2950 FPS has excellent expansion out to 900 yards. That being said anything under 300 yards has multiple exit holes due to the bullet completely exploding. I now keep a 225 grain eldm flying at 2850 in the chamber for anything...

Out of my Savage 300 win mag the 200 grain and 178 grain are absolutely deadly out to 800 yards. So far I have not been able to recover a whole bullet. Just lots of chunks. Now saying that in my weatherby 6.5 creedmoor they aren't accurate enough to even bother hunting with. I have no idea how...

I have tried the 175gr RDF bullets in my savage 300mag and my 300prc. They work so so and have random flyers. Had better luck with juggernauts. I'm ended up using 208gr eld match in my 300win mag and berger vld in the PRC. Both got to a mile.

Exactly. I've had a model 700 3006 for 30 years that I have never cleaned that ring out of. It's there but it shoots good so why mess with a good thing.

I thought the same thing. I made a set about a year ago with my printer but you couldn't put pressure on them you need to properly mount the rings. Maybe somebody will come up with one in the future but if you think scope rings are expensive now just imagine if they were carbon.
