[QUOTE="Subzero, post: 2118595, member: 111574"] I just bought a Remington 700 Long Range in .300 win mag. First off, I shot 10rds of factory 180gr core-lokt ammo (the cheap stuff) just to sight in the scope and shoot a couple of groups. Both groups were just under 1in at 3,031fps. I'm pretty happy with that. Now on to reloading. I started off using 212 ELD-X's and RL-26. I'm using load data from my Nosler manual with loads listed for the 210gr Accubond LR. It lists a max of 76.0gr, at a velocity of 2,874 out of a 24" barrel. I have a 26" barrel. These were my readings from my Caldwell chronograph: Remington brass, CCI-250, [B]74.0gr[/B] RL-26, 3.600 COAL = Avg. [B]2,926fps[/B] with no pressure signs at all. Remington brass, CCI-250, [B]75.0gr[/B] RL-26, 3.600 COAL = Avg. [B]2,996fps[/B], easy bolt lift, primer still pretty round on edges, slightest ejector mark barely visible. I was hoping for good speed, but this doesn't seem right. I didn't shoot the rest of my ammo, which I loaded at 76.0gr of RL-26, for fear of blowing myself up. What do you guys think about these velocity's? Anyone with QL care to chime in? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
