Re: How far have you pushed a .300WM?
Shot my .300wm out to a mile for the first time last weekend at Thunder Valley. Shooting 208 A-Max's and 210 VLD's. 76.5gr H1000. With the exception of annealing, I did everything humanly possible to the brass, prep-wise. 12" target at one mile, spotter calls were 'dancing all around it' with about a 10" group going, just not ringing. That sweet ding finally came. Only hit two hits but given conditions (xwind from 3 oclock at about 12-15kts), and at that distance contending with 3 valleys, therefore trying to average out (swag) the windage, I wasn't too unhappy. Out of the box REM 700 5R milspec (accurized)/26" bbl. Nightforce 5.5-22x56, MLR reticle/ mil turrets, zero stop. Holdover that day around 1.5 mil. 12" targets at 1000/1100/1200 as well. Gun did very well at those reaches. Shooting at Thunder Valley should be on any serious shooters bucket list. Great range, great time shooting. Samstone
