Problems with hornady precision hunter in 300 wm 200gr

[Coltsp1]

Anybody having problems w this round. I’m shooting this from a rem 700 factory barrel and having loading into battery problems and accuracy problems as well. A friend is having the same problem w his begura as well. Same ammo. Any help would be appreciated. 200gr eldx loaded by hornady

Can’t believe. Not one comment?

At least it's not blowing up ...

I mean it's not like the 200ELD-X has that exciting performance. Great marketing and looks good on paper but seriously, it's 300WM. Why not get Nosler, FGMM, Barnes LRX or any of the other factory offering? What's the point of good BC if it doesn't group worth a shit.

had a factory rem 700 with similar issues. more accuracy than anything else. handload could get accuracy down to just over moa. fgmm was 2moa. rifle came from factory with a long throat. never could identify problem 100% but i believe it had a tight bore, and coupled with the long jump just never performed. Replaced barrel with a broughton and became a 1 hole gun.

Mark the ogive of the bullet with a sharpie and try to (safely) chamber it. See what's causing the interference.

If you don't see any obvious scuff marks on the bullet, try the case.

There's a tech support line for these sorts of things, too.

They said the rim was to thick. Sent me a new lot. They were good to me. My cousin was not as lucky. They sent him only the rounds he had not shot
