[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 1299650, member: 95503"] I have never loaded for a 300 Wea mag,but I would think that your 2" groups may have to do with your bullet choice. The Barnes 180 gr ttsx is a long bullet and has only marginal stabality with a 1/12 twist. Your SG would be appx 1.10 according to the Berger program, and full stabality comes at 1.5. A shorter 180 gr bullet may give you the accuracy you are looking for, or a lighter one. [/QUOTE]
