[QUOTE="bweber, post: 160774, member: 3476"] Yeah, I may do that. I tried firing the Federal premium ammo with the 180gr TSX in this rifle. It shot well, except that the bullets weren't seated deeply enough. You really had to crank on the bolt to get it closed -not something I want to fool with while hunting. And at $2 each time you pull the trigger getting familiar with it would be pricey. But they shot around 3100fps according to my chrono. Seemed pretty good for a 180gr bullet in a 300wsm! I'd love to find a similar load that I could handload. Anything over 3000fps would make me happy. I just ordered a box of the 180s from Midway. I'll be curious to see how they do. Ben [/QUOTE]
