[QUOTE="MMarshall, post: 582292, member: 38541"] This is the final load result in 300WM Ruger M-77 Hawkeye that I worked up for my cousins rifle. The Accubond and Ballistic tip are virtually the same shape and share the same published BC numbers. [B]RL-17 @ 68.7gr Win Brass 2.610 Fed 215M Nosler 180gr Ballistic tip COL 3.320, .467 off Velocity 3026fps[/B] [B]Group .388"[/B] It feeds from the magazine well without issue. The throat was deep and the jump is quite far but it shot very well. [URL="http://ruger.com/products/m77HawkeyeAllWeather/specSheets/7125.html"]Ruger® M77® Hawkeye® All-Weather® Bolt-Action Rifle Model 7125[/URL] I tried a variety of loads and seating depths with RL-22 and IMR-4831 but the RL-17 shot best in his application. All seating depths tested were set at max magiziine and shortened in .020 increaments with mid loads until a nice group showed up. Then charges were increased in .07gr increments until good numbers or pressure showed up.
