[QUOTE="SLIVER, post: 1243023, member: 49937"] Hey guys. I am wondering if you can give some advise. I Recently finished a 300win build and have been testing some loads using H-1000, 215 hybrid target bullet, GM-215 primer and new Norma brass. I have tested the powder from 72-77gr, with the bullet seated 0.020 off the lands. 74.0 grains was my most accurate load producing a 3 shot group of 0.2850" center to center (see pic). The other loads weren't bad (0.5"-0.75"), just not this good. When chronographing I got a mean velocity of 2747 fps. I was really thinking that with this long of a barrel I would be >2900fps. I have heard of shooters (BROZ) on here getting over 3000 fps with the same combo, just an increased charge of powder. So my question is this..... Would you stick with the slower load and call it good, or try to jump up in powder getting more fps, but sacrificing such great accuracy? This is a hunting gun and will be used to take game from 1000 yds and in. Thank you for your advise and knowledge. ))--SLIVER--> [/QUOTE]
