[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 179422, member: 1522"] Steve, Just finished load work up in my .300 WSM LH Win Model 70 featherweight which I just had re-barreled with a new 24" SS Bartlein barrel. The best I could groups I been able to achive is in the mid .4's with a 3-shot group with 180 gr Combine technologies. Usual groups around mid .5's to low .6's. which I think is fantastic for a 7.5 lb light weight hunting rifle in a wood stock. The guns nick name is the mule for good reason as it will punish anyone behind the trigger. It's the most unforgiving rifle I've ever shot, but I love it. I forgot I still had a couple boxes of Fed Premium .180 gr Barnes Triple Shock so I took those to the range as those were the rounds I took to Alaska on my last moose hunt. Best group with those rounds were in the high .5's but I averaged mid to high .6's to .75" moa at 100 yards which I think is also extermly accurate out of my rig. Plus they'd be fantastic on elk. For deer and hogs here in TX I'll use my 180 gr hand loads, but when I go back to Alaska next fall for moose I'll use the Fed factory ammo with the 180 gr Barnes Triple shock. BTW, getting ready to start a load work up on a box of 168 gr Berger VLD that was given to me. Should be interesting. Hope it helps [/QUOTE]
