[QUOTE="Tidesloe, post: 2880124, member: 47761"] I will be beginning initial testing with my 300 SS this coming weekend. I’ve got the .180 freebore and intend to shoot Berger 212’s. However I’m hunting Elk in the timber in Oct, so I think I’m gonna give some 182 gr Hammer Hunter Tipped a try for this hunt. I sure might loose a little case capacity with this bullet but it really doesn’t matter with this load and mostly close range shots. Of the powders I have on hand, I’m thinking I’ll do pressure tests starting at 53 gr of H4350, H100V, and N550. Is this a reasonable start? As far as burn rates go, does the longer bearing surface and harder material in copper bullets affect the go to burn rates in powder selection? I will get back to Bergers after this hunt in Oct, but I’ve never tested copper bullets and unsure of the theory behind a change to copper bullets. Thanks for any advice or direction you guys might have to give. [/QUOTE]
