These should work nice in the 300 WSM

Better than TV lately.

That's a neat video! Did you guys work through the design of the special tooling/fixtures/mechanism to do all that?

In all honesty we just figured out how to do it. We had never machined anything before we started making bullets. We got help from those that we bought equipment from, sort of.

My personal choice in the wsm. They will run in the low 3200's.

What powder would go well with that 166 in the WSM?

H4350, H414, W760 would be where I would start

I have a posted load in the Hammer data with RL17 in 300WSM that is ~3250fps in 700SA which has PITA short magazine COAL. This bullet eliminates this inherent problem since you can seat normally at SAAMI or little longer. You just don't have a lot of excess magazine COAL in the 700SA. Feeds great.

The 166HH is my 300WSM GTG load. Accurate, good ES SD.
