[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 378720, member: 9172"] You don't need an 80 grain bullet.....you can use ANY bullet. If you have 180 NBT....use them. Or Sierra, or Berger........whatever you have on hand in whatever weight you have. They should never be more than .2 grains off of their advertised weight. If in doubt, just measure 2 or 3, or grab a different box of bullets...what ever weight or brand, and weigh a couple of them. The objective here is to check your scale!! As far as seating the bullets to deep......my guess is that this is most likely your problem. Seating a bullet in a 300 WM to 3.34" (as per the book) is WAY short in every 300 I have seen. But, of course, I check them all....just in case!!!!! [/QUOTE]
