[QUOTE="Oldschool280, post: 1616097, member: 94521"] The 300 shot one inch groups with 190 federal factory matchkings, one inch with just about every powder combo i had tried with 180 sst’s except for one charge that yielded 3/4 at 100 yards, i tried 168 matchkings and they shrunk to a half inch. The 7 mag i used only 162 eld-x’s and found a half inch and 3/8 inch load with imr 4831 and rl 25 respectively, both loads right around 3025 fps.( book) not chrono, although my barrel is two inches longer than what is listed. This range does not allowed a regular chronograph, I need to get a magneto speed. Overall I’m pretty happy although the winmag leaves a little to be desired, I’m going to try 200 grainers next, I don’t really see a point in having a 300 WinMag that only shoots 168 grainers, my 30-06 shoots 168’s tighter and with alot less fanfare.
