No pressure signs but it's right on the edge according to QL (just under 63K). I think it's part barrel and part RL 26. Barrel and build is a HCA and Mike mentioned his barrel tend to produce a little extra speed but the RL26 which QL shows about 40fps faster than N-560 was actually almost...

Averaging 2998fps according to my magnetospeed. I should add that's in a Tikka action with the LA bolt stop. OAL is 3.088.

Just finished load development on a 21" 300WSM running the Berger 205EH right at 3000 with RL26, ADG brass and Fed 215s. Well under 1 moa at 100 and I hope to stretch it out later this week.

Welcome from the FL panhandle!

Lots of choices obviously but one not as widely noticed is the Franchi Momentum. Checks every box and comes in a 6.5lbs. I have an original version that's a very good shooter and the newer models are even nicer. Only downside is they're 1-11 twist but you can run the 180 class bullets no...

I run Lapua or Peterson in all my rifles and this (300WSM) was the first time using ADG and I'm a little disappointed. During load development, anything that I ran on the warmer side but not what I would consider stiff loads, the primer pockets loosened up significantly more than I would have...

Outstanding. Peterson now says late 2024 for thier 300 WSM so if this is available prior to that then Lapua it is.

My original 1500 20" HB shot 185 Berger Juggernauts extremely well in front of VV N540. It was sending rainbows out to 1000 (2535fps) but was very consistent. I had it cut down to 16.5" and wanted to run something lighter and went through almost 10 bullet powder combinations before finding...

Getting ready to load the 163 HHTs for my new 300wsm this weekend. Hopefully my scope will show up next week and I'll start putting them down range.

Just ordered some 163HHTs for a new 300wsm build. Reading through a good bit of previous posts, it sounds like the HHTs will be similar to HH load data as opposed to AH load data. If that's the case I recall a recommendation not to run the AHs compressed but is a mildly compressed load okay with...

If you're still looking I have a new box of Norma cases (50) I can part with.

PM sent on the 155.5 Bergers

May I ask what powder you're running?

Check everything at least twice during the process. This will save mistakes like dropping powder without primers in the case, seating a bullet without a powder charge, using the wrong powder, seating bullets with die set for the wrong projectile, etc. I've done all except the wrong powder but...

Have a 22" barrel and had the 151 AH zipping at 3240 w VV-N550.
