X Bolt 300wsm loads
Hey guys, am having a bit of trouble with a X bolt at the moment. Im trying to get 195eldm to run through it, twist rate seems like it should be sweet. Im getting less than impressive accuracy, around the 1” at best rest of the time im seeing a lot of vertical. The components im using are
195eldm
Rl17
Rem9.5 primers
Norma brass
All weighed out on an a&d scale, seated consistently etc.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried this projectile in a 300wsm and found a good load?
Cheers!

Twist rate should be fine. My tikka 300wsm shoots 190gr VLDH no problem & its a 1/11, Xbolt appears to be 1/10.
Does it shoot well with any other projectiles/loads to verify its not a scope/rifle issue?
I wasted a fair bit of time and components trying to get my 300wsm to shoot 200gr ELDX well, different powders, charges & seating depths. For whatever reason my rifle just wouldnt shoot them, but my old 300 win mag shot them great. Went to 178gr ELDM & it shoots those amazing, along with the 190gr VLDH.
