[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 54354"] So far things look good...! I have found that .30 cal. love to be seated .020 off the lands.. just has worked in EVERY .30 rifle I've owned.. I would opt for Night Force or Badger 20 MOA bases and Badger rings for your scopes... I turn case necks not to much but just enough to clean them up.. this has done wonders... Your bullet seater should be the competition type from Redding... I usually have RCBS FL dies and Redding or Forester Ultra Seater or Redding Competition seaters and I shoot groups into the .2's.. well this has ALOT to do with the guy who built the gun too! THe 300WM's seem to like 190 SMK's but the 200 gr Nosler Accubonds have a great review and I like them myself.. get yourself the latest sierra reloading manual.. I have used this over the past year and it is dead on with the most accurate loads.. I get velocities a bit faster then what they printed though... I have the pact digital scale ( same as RCBS) and I zero the scale EVERYTIME before throwing a powder charge.. I usually set it .2 grs short and trickle up to reduce the ES.. so you're on the money there... typically you can be .1-.2 grs off and not have much effect... you seem to be doing really well and all you need to do is burn some powder. Get in some trigger time... You should set your trigger to 2-3 lbs if you can't do it most competant smiths can do it quick and cheap... Ric [/QUOTE]
