[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1845741, member: 64108"] [ I bought the 16 Bear Hunter is 300 WSM to build a Sherman off of but was curious of the WSM's legendary accuracy so I started by chopping off the Savage brake with funky 9/16-28 threads(I think) and rethreading to 5/8-24 and added a Beast. Ran 100 rounds for break in and FF brass with 200 grain pills and IMR 4350 using berger starting loads (~59 grains at ~2700) at mag length, straight from the Chargemaster. I let a non shooter GF burn up some rounds and she went something like 12/15 on steel 600 to 800 yards. Then I annealed, sorted, etc. and ran a ladder in 0.5 grain (FX-120)increments with H4350 at 700 yards and came up with a 1.5 grain (2 shots of each 3 charge weights, 6 shots total)window that printed 2" of vertical and ~30 ES. I have not retested yet but I narrowed it to the lower section 1.2 grains of the window and have 8 rounds of each charge to shoot in 0.4 increments. Scope is a Zeiss V6 3-18x50. I kind of like this $600 rifle and am not sure I want to tear it down, but that 300WSM is pretty easy to load for. Probably end up doing a custom in 300 WSM...LOL [/QUOTE]
