The Netherlands, Europe
I'm new to this site. In Europe its not so common to do longrange hunting, but I want to start it (legal of course) special on Foxes.
I want to tune my gear a little and need loaddata for it, hope someone can help me!
The gun I use: Voere LBW with freefloating standard (Lothar Walter) barrel 1;10Twist cal .243win length 23,6inch.
and a exchange barrel standard .300Win Mag length 25,6inch as far as know also 1;10 twist
Sight; Kahles CSX 3-12x56 Multizero.

So: what loaddata for the 80gr. Barnes TTSX in the .243win
and what loaddata for the 175gr. Barnes LRX in the .300WinMag

In special is to know for me if the freeflight is important and how much it must be? Also is not clear to me if the brass etc has a influence on the accuracy..and if you use different brass with same loaddata if it giving a bad result?

Maybe someone can help me out? Also other tips and help is very welcome to establish a good accuracy.

Thanks in advance.

Buy, beg, or borrow every reloading manual you can get your hands on.....READ them.

Twice if necessary.

Then, if you still have a question, by all means, come back and ask it.........

Handloading has inherent risks.

Starting out, it pays to rely on published data.

No instructions can cover all situations, but at least somebody thought the info in the books was reliable enough to put it into print with their own names on it.

Strangers on the internet...; not so much...
