[QUOTE="Dave Squires, post: 80107, member: 1993"] Wildcat, My rifle weighs 17LBs. scoped. I hunt with it, and want it to be legal for Idaho which has a 16 LB. weight limit. I think I can do a little milling on my stock and lose a pound. As far as bullets 300 SMK,s are all I have shot.As far as powder H1000 works great. Tooley said use H1000 or Rel.25. I did try some WC872 and it was dead accurate at about 2600 fps, but when velocity was increased it would not group.With your long barrel 3000 fps with 300 grainers should be no problem. 2900 is max for my rifle, but it shoots one ragged hole at 100 yards. I have a 30 moa base, and with the 5.5x22 I have about 1750 meters worth of elevation clicks. Dave. [/QUOTE]
