[QUOTE="huntoregon, post: 1124133, member: 77911"] I finally got around to loading and shooting some bullets and have a new question. Shooting a 300WM Berger 185grn classic hunter bullets. COAL is 3.340". Using H-1000 powder I started off with 76 grains and worked up to 79 grains of powder. CCI 250 primers, federal brass fired once in my rifle. The 79 grain load shot really nice with about a 1/2" group at 100 yards and muzzle velocity through my cheap chronograph was really consistent. So I loaded 5 more with 80 grains of powder and the group opened up to around 1-1/2" at 100 yards and the muzzle velocity was all over the place. Is this an indicator that I screwed something up during loading or does it just mean my rifle does not like this load? [/QUOTE]
