I'm quite new to reloading but a fast learner on a new subject.
I'd like to thank everyone who has shared a problem or solution suggestions. I learned a great deal. Of course there is more to learn but...
I just had a most fun success.
Rifle:
Weatherby Vanguard in 300 WSM
Pac-Nor 3L 10 twist 30 cal 28 inch sendoro
Boyds featherweight thumbhole.
Vortex Viper PST second focal plane
Timney trigger at 1 1/4lb.
Other than the barrel RI I do all my work.
Cartridge:
Remington 300WSM Brass, annealed, neck turned, primer pocket uniformed, etc...
Hornady A-Max 208, hBN coated
H4350
Loading:
Lyman turret adjusted to remove any cant
Forster benchrest dies
RCBS Chargemaster.
I've been working on the load for this rifle for a bit and hitting many of the same problems expressed on the 'Hide. Last week I gave my latest rounds a try. They chronned at 2700 fps which is where I thought the first node would be. After the chron work, I plugged the numbers into StreLok and had it compute the <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">700 YARD</span></span> solution. Adjusted the turrets and sent the first round. 12" High.Checked everything and found I miss counted my elevation clicks. Corrected.
With 14 rounds left of that load, I proceded to hit a 6" reactive target 7 times.
I made some more and the next day hit the 6" <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">700 YARD</span></span>target 3 times in a row as well as other hits.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their problems, trials and tribulations and solutions.
