with heavier bullets you will pressure out with 65Stabil before you run out of space! Im running 208's and ive had to back down to avoid over pressure and still have room for a few more grains. If thats what your looking for

I am also running a 21" barrel 300wsm but with 208eldm. I am only getting 2750fps(which I thought was good) but I am pressured out using 6.5StaBil. That makes your barrel and load seem SUPER fast!!
Are you seeing pressure with that load?

@Nuclear Worker please post up your load data and we can run it through our app and see what we are getting. Im sure its a simple fix when we find the error. Dont be ashamed, its the fun part about Long range shooting and all of us are weird and like to trouble shoot or we would just play golf...
I sit in the corner with 01Foreman400 on action length, I love my 300wsm but if I put it in a long action I am going 300PRC.
If I were in your shoes I would pick either 208eldm(my choice) or Berger 215hybrid and make your dummy rounds that just fit in the magazine and let them throat it...
I am considering upping my comfort level from my current THerma-rest original sel;f inflate pad. Its “warm enough” but I wouldn’t be mad at more insulation. Its a R3.
Does anyone have a good option for maybe an inflatable insulated pad that is reliable. I know Im asking for a lot. Any...
I checked data for my 208eldM load out of 20” barrel 300wsm @ 2750mv
In Texas I hit 1500ft lbs of energy and 1800fps impact at 815yds
In Colorado elevation it’s approximately 1090yds for 1500ft lbs and 1800fps impact
I’m sticking to the 208’s in the WSM for down range results at longrange...
I run 208’s in my 20” Suppressed WSM at 2750fps
Both EldM and BergerLRHT in 208grain.
With the 208EldM I’ve shot 1 bull at 300yds and 1 Auadad at 600yds. Performance was great!

So ....at 7 months 2 weeks I got a "disapproved email" This is my 3rd can on the same trust, 1st two cans were back during paper, paperwork. This is my first e-file. The email said "duplicate submission" I bought through a local FFL who is working to help me. We had a rough time submitting the...
X2 for cycling! I almost died on my first CO elk hunt, After that I got into cycling by chance. Its been 8yrs since my first hunt, now Ive dropped 42lbs and my aerobic threshold went through the roof! If I cycle all year and then hit the moutains I have zero issues. I went from slowest guy on...
Lance, I typically hunt 225eldM .30 for shots from 600-1400yds. I also have a lot of Berger Hybrid. I use Hammer, Accubonds or typical Cup&core bullets for shots 0-500yds, Its like a bag of golf clubs, I always like to have the right tool for the job!
Lance, I typed this really early this...
Not on the poll but should be:
“Hunting bullets don’t offer the highest BC advantage that long range Match bullets provide”
Those of us that shoot animals regularly past 600yds understand what a BC means in forms of wind bucking ability. Also “hunting” bullets don’t reliably expand at the...
