Don't really need it to be deer rifle already have 22-250 Ai,243wssm,25-06,257wby,6.5x55 Swed,6.5-300wby,a couple 270wsm's,30-06Ai,and a 300rum for backup deer rifles. When I go for some prairie dog action 600 rnd days aren't uncommon so looking for another rifle that's easy on powder, barrel, ears,shoulder, and just plain fun to shoot. Some times I go by myself so being able to call my own shots would be a plus. obbessssed Much???? I like it!!!!! Please keep us up to date with this build. Sounds awesome

temped!!!

Lately Ive been working on my 300 win mag with ladder test, hot loads, now coal change ups to get better grouping. Going through lots of rounds, I was was using the lead sled, but was told others from the forum it messes with the harmonics of the barrel. How does it mess with it, and not with sand bags, or bi-pods??? Plus what do you guys think of the Caldwell tack driver? I know for precise shooting the Lead Sled does not move or vibrate when Im shooting it. I know when I shoot, the shot was good and the bullet is truly reveling itself to me. (unless Im totally wrong) Any help or your preferred way of load development shooting would be great.

You might have to educate me a little more, i thought pushing a 208-215 grain bullet out of a win mag around 3000 fps is a hot load?? So dropping it down to 2940 is moderate?

Right I know, I guess let me explain more. Shooting some loads that were 2850-2920 were 1-1/2 to 2" spreads. Some of my best ones were shooting at 2700 fps and 2990.

pushing 208 grains 3010 fps and sub Moa groups. I got it up to 3060 with no sticky bolt and backed off a 1/2 of grain. But the best one is shooting 2990 with another 1/2 grain off, so Im looking into that one more.

Brings a grown man to tears

Well done

Very cool congrats

Do What we all do. Pick an area and just try it out. One year it does great. I go back the next year and there is nothing. Then I start over all again

Thanks that is what i was thinking. I got 2 load choices to get picky with now. Im going to be shooting from the shoulder and the bipod.

Huh interesting!! I need to read up on that more. I was also told to use magnums primers instead of my 210m. My groups went from 1" to 2". Switch backed to 210m federals and it tighten back up. I don't know if it will work out for me in the long run.

What a hunt congrats

Wow thats bright

Congrats

Hunting to a lot of people is preparation! This includes looking for a new hunting pack, going over maps and units, scouting an area, glassing an area, talking hunt on this forum, and definitely developing loads for a gun. Especially striving for that Sub MOA is hunting for me. If you don't like to reload just shoot factory rounds. If you want to shoot out past 600 yards your going to want to reload unless you found a great match factory bullets (Nosler, Hornady) that is consistent with you shooting. Reloading is a blast and Ive learned alot from the guys on this forum. So I hunt all year theoretically! I would go back to that 72.5 and mess with the coal a little more. Also a lot of win mags are on the H1000.
