[QUOTE="Outlaw81, post: 516599, member: 34658"] Ok, I've been on this 300wsm trip lately. I went ahead and bought another one and I honestly think I'm gonna just stick with this caliber and see what monsters I can build out of it. Yesterday I picked up a Savage 12 Varmint Low Profile in 300 wsm. I handloaded with winchester brass, WLR Primers, 60gr of H4350, and 190smk's. I was expecting roughly 3/4" @ 100 since it's brand new. Nope. I managed a five shot ragged hole at 100 after my 5 shot sight in. I went on out to 250. I managed a 5 shot group that could've been covered with a dime!!!!! This has been a go-to load for me for a few years now in this caliber. Coal is 2.889" and it chronoed 2895 out of a 26" stock tube. ES was about 15 fps. A couple years ago I got tired of people saying the 3short mag couldn't hang with the .300 Win Mag. So I set out to prove to myself it could. I had a long lilja throated for a 3.15" WSM. with this setup you can actually push the 240 smk to about 2750 without pressure signs.
