220gr SMKs in the RPR 300 WM

220gr SMKs in the RPR 300 WM. 76:7 gr of Ramshot Magnum. 2960 FPS. .64 MOA. In the yellow circle. The other 5 are 220gr Nosler Custom Competition with the same load. Guess they didn’t like it as much.

I haven't had much luck with Noslers in general. I thought it was just me, but I see other people seem to have some consistency issues with them as well. I went back to SMKs and Hornady BTHP match/ELD for all my loading.

I’ve had good luck with them in other calibers. Need to do some load development with them and see if I can tune em up.

I burned through 500 in my 308... couldn't find a consistent load. Sierras are easy mode, as are the hornady 178s for me. Maybe my brass prep wasn't as good. I saved a couple dozen to try with some new Lapua brass just to see.

I'm very curious to see how this works as I just bought a jug of ramshot magnum as H1000 is impossible to find. Hoping to work up a good load for the 220 smk in my 300wm. I've heard reports that magnum burns dirty, but your sure not lacking any velocity! Curious how long your barrels is?

26” 1:9. Doesn’t seem any dirtier than any other powder I’ve used.
