[QUOTE="Reloader, post: 188845, member: 2555"] [b]Try other powders and bullets.....[/b] While your abolt may never be BR accurate, you can probably find a load that will reduce your groups. I have loaded for many rifles that my first impressions were they were never going to shoot only to find after many different combos, I would stumble onto a load that shot surprisingly well and surprisingly consistent. I would try H4831 in your 300WM, it has been a very good powder choice in all of the 300 winnies I've loaded for withe bullets in the 180-200 range. Also, don't get dead set on a bullet weight. My most accurate 300WM shoots several various 178-180s well, but it shoots 190MKs outstanding. Switch it up a bit. Sadly, load development for some rifles is not a piece of cake. I've nearly pulled my hair out on a few only to stumble onto a combo that was lights out. Some tubes will shoot dozens of combos well, some definitely have a preference or a "pet" load. Finding that pet load is a bummer at times. Luckily, we all seem to stumble onto a pet load right from the gate at times. Good Luck, Reloader [/QUOTE]
