The recoil wasn't too bad for me, at least in an XLR w/ surefire 7.62 brake. I could shoot that rifle all day without problems. Hell a couple of ladies got behind it and didnt have any issue either. A good stock(heavy) and brake make a huge difference.

I had a Remington 700 5R 300WM that was 20". I was able to get Berger 230 Hybrids up to 2580 FPS +/- 22 FPS. At 1000 yds that is roughly 1500 FPS and carries a FT-LBS energy of 1160. I was happy with it and I would do it again. Not to mention, a 20" is very handy in the woods. I hope this helps

I wont use Hornady dies anymore. I had a few issues with their dies when I first started loading, I have since switched to Redding and have been problem free.

I am amazed that nobody has any info on this.

Does anybody offer a commercially available 300WM sub load?

Due to the BS going on right now, I was hoping to find a backup powder to my normal 300WM load. The only powder I could find was MR 4000 and Hogdon 100 V. Does anyone know/have load data for either of these? I tried the search and came up with nothing. I am trying to find a good load for...
