The podcast said they've been using the "new" tips since 2018, they just finally got the patent so they're announcing it.
7-300 Norma Mag Improved

I have a 300 Norma bushing die, so I'll try that for the next 50 (I have 150 of Peterson), using bushings to go down in two steps versus the one and then use the WTO dies for sizing after fireforming. We'll see how this first batch goes. I don't know why I didn't think of that…. I could kick myself….
Hopefully I have enough jam to blow out the case to almost full chamber profile, I was nervous about using to much jam and spiking my pressure with an unknown load.

Oh yeah, I would certainly use the standard bushing die on the initial size down! It's really a huge learning curve and figuring stuff out like that.
The jam isn't for blowing the shoulders out. It's for keep them in a same spot each time while they form out.
They're going to form no matter what. But where the brass comes from can be inconsistent.

Gents new to the forum: what drawing is everyone using for the 7-300 NMI? I read shoulder angle is key?

This gun was built by High Voltage Armory, and he also designed the reamer. He'll build you a gun, but won't share the reamer print.
First buck of the season with the 7-300. 180 ELDM had excellent performance at 480 yards.
My gun was built by West Texas Ordnance and is a 30-degree shoulder. They have a page on their website reference the cartridge.

Thank you!!
365 yards, quartering away. 180 ELDM put a hurt on him. He hunched up, but stood behind a tree where I couldn't hit him again. Stood there for maybe 15-20 seconds then reared up and tipped over backwards.
Exit side. Bullet jacket was caught in the hide.

Well placed shot if that's the exit on quartering away! Dead standing, but still those seconds make you nervous haha. A buck like that there's no playing games.
