[QUOTE="jcpython357, post: 53086, member: 1187"] Samson, Boy I love to talk reloading, I'd first figure out what kind of shooting your going to be doing ie; deer, elk, speedgoats, LR, etc. I'd go with something like 180gr or above with the 300winnie, and try some H1000 or H4831sc, Retumbo should work great with the 190-200gr bullet. As far as bullets go, you can't go wrong Sierra 190gr or 200grain MK or 180gr SST, 190gr BTSP Hornady, the latter as grouped very well out of my '06'. As far as seating depth, you can start by seating them .005-.010" off the lands and work down from there to see any accuracy gains. That kinda stuff isn't near as important as holding the rifle still. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]. If you noticed some of the threads here you've seen where a Hornady bullet prefers to be seated closer to the lands, and Sierra seems to be much less fussy, I can concur with that. Something to keep in mind. Jay [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
