[QUOTE="minute of elk, post: 857991, member: 44031"] got lucky on a trade for a Tikka t3 stainless 300 WSM this weekend! it's just perfect for a superlight hiking rifle. [URL=http://s1185.photobucket.com/user/elk_country_rp/media/Snapbucket/DE35078C_zps34f1604e.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z357/elk_country_rp/Snapbucket/DE35078C_zps34f1604e.jpg[/IMG][/URL] wait!- before you recommend the search bar in the upper right corner- i've read at least 50 threads thanks to our beloved search function, but i'm lookin for a few more details to save time/powder. for you guys running your 300 WSM's at longer than SAAMI lengths (and especially those of you with Tikkas), what kind of data can you share concerning COAL's, charges, & associated pressures? i'm not trying for any specific muzzle velocity- accuracy is more important. having said that, though, i wouldn't mind shooting out this barrel quickly so i can put a benchmark with a DRW soft brake on it... my chamber measures at 3.090" to the lands, and i've already jimmied the bolt stop & mag lips on a long magazine to make it feed longer loads. i plan to run some loads with 178 amax's & R-17 at SAAMI specs to make sure the rifle doesn't have any basic issues. [U]that's[/U] not taking up any space on my brain's hard drive at the moment, though- [B]ELK![/B] are. but! (there's always a but) if'n y'all feel like sharing your COAL's & charges with me (kinda like Shane did with his 208 amax & R-17 in a 308 thread), i stand a much better chance of having the load development & dope done by the 26th. [B]ELK![/B] my other [B]ELK![/B] rifle options weigh 13-15 lbs- and i've recently had to have both knees warrantied! get my drift? 3.090" is my chamber's max COAL, but i'm a fan of .015" jumps- it ain't a benchrest gun, it's a truck/pack gun! i'm lookin to get a good node with 208 amax's & R17 or H4831sc. i have 2 batches of ~50 win brass- 46 @ 226-227 grains & 56 @ 228-229 grains (i'm not married to it, but it's what i got). i'm running br2's for spark. i'd also welcome any donations of 215 or 230 hybrids (Jeff) :D [/QUOTE]
