WWYD - 300 WBY

[perma]

I think I load 88g and call the other two flyers. Or should I go spicier?

 

[BAKPAKR]

Maybe trade it for a Tikka?

Yeah but everyone’s got a Tikka. I can’t have one cuz I’m a hipster.

sako?

 

[BAKPAKR]

On a serious note, I think I would try another powder or bullet. Neither of those groups look too promising to me.

Its triggering my working up a load for 300wby PTSD, so I don't have much to add until I have a drink to calm my nerves.


I wouldn't be happy with either of those, but I guess it depends on the range you intend to shoot. The one I loaded for shot like that to start, but I got it much better with some experimentation. Do you have a chrono? I'd want to see those numbers before I burned up any more components.

Not much info to go on for sure. mtmuley

It’s a magnum that’s as good as they get.

I don’t but if I had to guess they’re around 3100 FPS. But that’s basing it on Nosler chart, which probably means nothing.

Yet another item on my wishlist.

No it isn't. mtmuley

I have a load that I grouped to 0.75” with this gun. Only thing I changed was primers and brass, because I ran out of both.

Those are two major things.

Yep, that’s why I’m starting over. I have (had) a box of 1000 primers and fresh unfired brass, so this will be a load to make bulk in.

Not Winchester primers are they?

No, Remington. I had CCI before this. Both LRM

 

[EastTNHunter]

I have a rifle that hates Fed 210s, but loves CCI 200s. Only rifle that’s ever seemed to care.

Different brass can have different case capacities, which can effect charge weights. Neck tension can also be effected by changing brass.

Small things can make big differences

What powder (I'm guessing H1000) and brass? Are you full length sizing or shoulder bumping and how much? How far off the lands?

Based off those 2 groups, none of them seem like fliers.

That combo just doesn't seem to shoot well or you were having an off day.

The bottom group that has the one way down low was a flyer. I marked it because it was one I had to pull the bullet from. I was suspicious so I marked it, it shot it anyway.
