300 Grain loads...
Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2018 8:54 am
Looking back thru 7 Pages I only see 2/3 postings with 300G bullets...
I have a couple hundred bullets from sales @ Midway and would like to use this bullet.
Yesterday I loaded up three powders and all where pretty good bun nothing was settled upon.... IMR4227, AA1680 & 5744
I couldn't shoot out to 100 until a couple hours after I got to the range and did not get to set up the chrony again.. GRR
BUT all shot well enough to use for my purposes. This has always been the case with this rifle. ALL loads seem really good!
Here is the 1680 Target, shot @ 100 Yards. The bottom right was first. it was a clean bore so I'm disregarding first shot. (labeled 1 & almost in center of paper) I shot three shot groups and went back after and fired two more of the first load at the bottom right. Bottom left was top loading and 1/2G over max (ZERO pressure signs, but I seated very long)
I somehow deleted the pics of the other two loads when I was cropping, must thought them duplicates...
Any how, not to shabby and noticeable increase in recoil and muzzle flash with 1680. $227 seemed to recoil even more but with substantially less flash.
