[QUOTE="Williamb, post: 222552, member: 11980"] GlennRMX & DaveWilson - I appreciate your posts. I will let you know how my loading ladder goes. It will obviously encompass a wide range of R19 possibles. I will initially step through the Barne's recommended loading in .5 increments. It's a shame that the 6mmbr.com 300wsm compendium is not completed. Here is what they are trying to do and may be of interest to some. It's located at: [URL="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/6mmbr/vpost?id=2238517"]300 WSM--Need Your Data for Cartridge Guide -[/URL] They already have some information there.
