    New to reloading 300wsm

    It exists, or will when it's run. But you'll be fighting half the benchrest world to get it.

    I’m not sure where to place this question….rifle and scopes

    Yes. Spuhr one-piece mounts on each scope, not separate rings. I do, but it's not hard and usually very close after each change. If you're good you can do it in three shots at most. Has no bearing on scopes and sighting in, but yes I use the same ammo at day and night. Does thermal work...

    Hornady marketing

    Big Red does seem to live rent free in a lot of minds 🤣

    243AI powder recommendation

    Love this round. Does everything from varmints to deer to 1500 yard steel for me. My set up: Lapua brass, 7 twist, 30" barrel, 108 Bergers, Fed 215M primers. Remember to knock my speeds down since your barrel is likely shorter. Bergers held up fine at ALL speeds listed below, nothing came...

    22 Creed. Best groups I’ve ever shot 🙌🏼

    Asprin shoots have been a thing for a long time. If you put a white dot on a brown-ish background it pops remarkably well. We use a paint pen to put ~1/16-1/8" dots on cardboard squares to make 100 yard zero targets. All the lines and diamonds and colors on fancy targets aren't needed at all...

    Favorite uncommon calibers

    If you can buy ammo for it then it's not un-common enough for me 🤣 I'm making a wildcat reamer for a WSSM-esque .416 caliber currently. 8.6 BLK on steroids in a way.

    First outing with my new 20 Practical

    Until Grafs pays Berger to do another run, I think they're gone. Someone on another site said they contacted Berger and that they were making some, but not many. Black Hole bullets used to make something similar. Not sure what they're doing any more through.

    Headspace Woes

    Neck size and shoot them again. Don't chase "bumping" until fired cases don't rechamber. All the frustration you're having is because the brass has only been fired once.

    What suppressors do you guys like?

    Pretty much anything popular. SilencerCo Omega, Scythe, Hybrid, Harvester. TBAC Ultra 5, 7, 9, Magnus. Banish 30. I do like AB Suppressors Raptor with the reflex that goes rearward over the barrel. More volume with no more length. I've used all of those, they all work fine. SiCo Scythe...

    Wet tumbling with stainless pins are causing a burr on insidevof my case mouth.

    Yes. I got a cheap auto-shut off timer that you hit a button for 10-20-30-60m options and it starts a timer...

    Wet tumbling with stainless pins are causing a burr on insidevof my case mouth.

    I have gotten neck dings/burrs from wet SS tumbling. I use only pins in one primer size, and shapes mix in the other (can't remember which right now, but IIRC shapes get stuck in SRPs), and they seem to do about the same if I leave the cases in for awhile. Like @ericbc7 i use a lot of media...

    7-300 Norma Mag Improved

    I haven't yet, my 7 SAUM came in right around the same time and it's been too fun to stop shooting yet. But it sits there and judges me every night waiting for it's turn 🤣

    7-300 Norma Mag Improved

    Or................. You could not paint the stock. Re-do the bolt and barrel flues in red. And sell it to me when the season is over 🥰 That's going to look great when he's done, man.
