I was told a couple of weeks ago by Peterson that their 300WM brass should be available again in a couple months. Not sure what the delay is all about.

Maybe this will catch on. https://real.video

I've played with N570 a bit in my 300WM with 215 bergers. I had two issues with it. To gain any negligible speed over H1000, it was a very compressed load. This caused me to run into issues with keeping a consistent OAL length. I probably would have had to run more neck tension to compensate...

I agree. I'm currently using RL17 in mine. I have a couple pounds of it laying around and it wouldn't shoot in my 260 so I figured what the hell. With 52g Hornady's, its surprisingly accurate.

I read a short article written by Richard Franklin who is a very well respected gunsmith in the benchrest community on how he tried to kill the accuracy of of a Remington chambered in 6PPC he had. He cut one bolt lug considerably shorter than the other, cut the receiver face out of true, cut...

Some very good suggestions here. I would also make sure that your bullet seating depth and neck tension is consistent. I have a rifle that is VERY sensitive to seating depth. My rifle was doing something similar to yours every third shot or so. Adjusted my seating depth and made sure they were...

They stay in place. Here's the link and theres a link to a pretty good tutorial under gun smithing odds and ends no.6 http://www.erniethegunsmith.com/catalog/i134.html.

I used Accu Riser spacers when I bedded my last B & C stock. They're basically washers that vary in thickness to lift the action off of the bedding block so you can get bedding compound between the two. They work pretty well. I believe there sold by ernie the gunsmith.
