300 wsm. ?

[B-Killin]

Just bought a 300 wsm. Any suggestions or comments on the caliber? What is everyones' favorite load?

 

[noharleyyet]

Have several friends who own them. They like em fine and shoot them well. Can't say about reloading but there seems to be a very good selection of factory cartridges available.

I've been feeding my wsm and saum the 165 gr barnes 'X' bullet. I'll look up the loads when I get home tonight.

I just bought a Model 70 in 300 wsm. I have bought some Fed prem Nickle cases and 180 Accubonds now I just need to deside on what powder......MRP, RL 19 RL 22?

H4350 has worked well in the couple I have loaded for. I think loading the 300wsm is kind of like loading for the 308 win, It's easy to find alot of good loads for. I like 180 grain bullets in heavy 30 cals, but the 168 grain triple shock might be the bullet to beat in the short mag.

Had a .300WSM Tikka T3 and tried several loads in it. Seemed to like the 165 grain bullets and the powder I had the best luck with was a new powder from Accurate called MagPro. Made spedifically for the short magnum cartridges. Load data is on their internet side or can be found at the following site. www.shortmags.org
I have a new Kimber 8400 in .300WSM now and will be playing with loads again. Can't wait.

RL-19 would be my first choice

Thanks fellas, getting ready to do a trigger job on my gun and when it is finished I will give few of these loads a try.

I have yet to get my 270 WSM shooting as well as I would like, but I have had good performance so far with MagPro. I just have to get the loads fine-tuned and see which bullet works best. In the .270 WSM, it works better with the heavier bullets (140 or 150 gr) than with the 130 gr. I would expect the same to hold true in the .300 WSM.

Bush Man...let me know how you like Hill Country's results

 

[ALASKA BUSH MAN]

Roger That........it will proably be another month before I get the rifle back....and will be mid june before I get back to Alaska and to my Fairbanks' Range. Hill Country has a web site and explains exactly what they do during accurizing.

 

[noharleyyet]

I've seen their site and visited with them at sci and hunter's extravaganza shows...they seem competent and guarantee their work.

 

[ALASKA BUSH MAN]

Thanks for reply, after Hill Country gets done with it I thought about having it Deep Freezed ......Gander Mountain does this for $80.00 have you had any rifles done like this?

 

[noharleyyet]

No on Hill Country but have been considering sending them my 700 7mm ultra mag...haven't heard about the cryo treatment yet...sounds interesting

 

[gundog]

The cryo treatment got a lot of press a few years back. It's said to relieve barrel stress by aligning the atoms. Personally I've never seen any gun shoot better after recieving the treatment. I think is a waste of money for a hunting rifle.

 

[noharleyyet]

Have some blades that have been heat/cryo treated.

Have some blades that have been heat/cryo treated.

Now which is it? have they been frozen or heated?

 

[noharleyyet]

Both...Swamprat.com

 

[snake river rufus]

Why do you need to freeze a knife blade?
Do you slice so fast that the harmonics cause the blade to vibrate wildly?
