[QUOTE="WBest84, post: 1350896, member: 103086"] Looking for some thoughts on this reload data I obtained over the weekend. Rifle: Remington 300 WM 700 5R Gen2 with 24” barrel 1 in 10 twist. Shooting suppressed through a Silencerco Omega suppressor. Bullet: Berger 210 VLD Powder: H1000 Brass: Hornady Primer: CCI 250 Magnum I made up 6 loads: 3 shots of each 72gr H1000 .020” off the lands 74gr H1000 .020” off the lands 76gr H1000 .020” off the lands 72gr H1000 .050” off the lands 74gr H1000 .050” off the lands 76gr H1000 .050” off the lands The goal was to find out what this rifle likes best for a long range hunting/target load so that I can order custom CDS dials for my Leupold scope. I’m a little concerned with the velocity results and wanted to see what some others thought. 72gr loads avg 2575 FPS w/ 4 stdev 74gr loads avg 2685 FPS w/ 22 stdev 76gr loads avg 2750 FPS w/ 17 stdev Now my most accurate load was: 72gr H1000 .050” off the lands 2 shots in the same hole the third 1/2” away@ 100 yards. The .050” off the lands loads were better than the .020”. The 74gr and 76gr loads weren’t bad 1-1.5” spreads @100 yards. From my online research I’m seeing many guys seeing excellent results with 76-78gr of H1000 with muzzle velocities in the 2800-2900 range. I used a Caldwell chronograph about 10 feet from the muzzle. Should I be concerned that my most accurate load is only in the 2575 range? None of the brass showed any signs of overpressure. No sticky bolts. Should I try some 77-78gr loads to see if those preform as good as the 72? For comparison I shot 3 of last years hunting loads. 180gr Nosler accubond 70gr IMR 4350 Avg velocity 2933 FPS w/ 6 stdev 1” spread @100 yards [/QUOTE]
