[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 2073471, member: 98025"] @ Les In Wyoming I’ll certainly ‘second’ the great advice mentioned above by ‘sedancowboy’ and ‘dok7mm’. Last year (October 2020) I worked up a consistent 1/2 minute load in my .300 Win Mag using [B][I]NEW [/I][/B]ADG brass, Berger 210 vld and 74.1gr of RL 26[B][I] [/I][/B]for a muzzle velocity of @ 2980 fps according to the Magnetospeed. The [B][I]once fired [/I][/B]brass velocity went well [B]over [/B]3,000 fps and required the charge to be reduced to 73.1 gr to stay at/within the same velocity and still print 1/2 minute 5-shot groups. I only loaded up 20 of those for hunting/target work and still have a few left that need to be fired so as to avoid the ‘cold weld’ possibilities. I have also noted that even the [B][I]twice fired [/I][/B]ADG brass (neck sized only) still chambers just fine with no resistance. [/QUOTE]
