[QUOTE="Nowoolies, post: 1630292, member: 108607"] G'day Moosehunter , Why not forget about the belt it's not really that big a issue, I think anyways I have just built my second .300 wm as per my avatar This is built on the Hornady ELD-X 212grn , seated the projectile out too 2.910 using a Hornady comparator 8.30 its around 1 caliber seated into the neck , it's all one needs to hold the projectiles imo Giving me a larger boiler room, I have a 33 inch Rock Creek heavy Palma Match Barrel as well for a little more speed A Bighorn TL3 action ,I've forgotten what brand the mags are but they allow me to seat the projectiles out a fair way out My main goal was more kinetic energy down range , I was thinking of a way to extend/modify the .300 case for just on 3 years , then the ELD-X type projectiles came out, This solved my thoughts , by seating the projectiles out further giving more boiler room, = more powder=more velocity = more kinetic energy down range I still haven't run it over my chronograph yet , hopefully in the next couple of weeks ,will post velocity Soon So far this rifle is printing 1.8 inch at 500 yards , can't get the picture of the target up on here yet ? Still got heaps more to go developing I think. I've just ordered a few hundred of the new Hornady 230 grn A-Tip to try out ,I'm hoping these will be good in my Rifle out too 1500-2000 meters , just targets at those sort of ranges . The powder I'm running is AR2225 , I'm up to 81.3 grns so far with absolutely no pressure signs ,using federal 215m primers with S&B cases and still have a little bit more boiler room to use AR2225 which is equivalent too Retumbo and Reloader 25 ,I have never used the last two powders. This is my load data if you want to try it out please start at least 5% lower [/QUOTE]
