[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 785303, member: 10291"] I just completed a successful load work up using high BC bullets for my Remington Milspec 300WM with a 24" barrel. I will start by thanking some very knowledgeable members of this forum for excellent advice and load suggestions. I was able to achieve sub .5 MOA groups at 200 yards with ES under 12FPS for two loads. I used Norma brass, Federal 215 primers, and neck sized with redding .335" bushing dye. The 210 Berger Hunting VLD's were seated .010" off the lands. Optimimum accuracy and ES was achieved with two powders. 75.5 gr H1000, 2750 FPS 79 gr Retumbo, 2850 FPS I experienced no ppressure signs with either load, and have been able to use neck sized up to 4-5 loads before resizing with a body dye. I tried two powders because this is was I had in supply. I will go with the Retumbo because it completely fills the case, gives 100FPS more velocity, and provides ES of single digits, slightly better than the H 1000. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
