Which 300 gr. bullets are you loading? What's the COAL?
Well in his gun we tried SMK 250s, and 300s,
Hornady 285s, and Berger 300s. The 285s and 300s all pretty much land in the same place with same amount of elevation at 1500. But his gun seems to like Bergers slightly better at that distance.
Don't actually know the oal.
We always start by seating with the bolt, then go from there with depth till something works well, then make a dummy for that bullet, and it is whatever it is.
We do have an advantage in that we can load say 3, then just walk outside and test them at distance.
