Thread: Looking to buy a new 300 win mag for my new scope any suggestions please

OK just a quick update on my current riffle, I have put the new Swarovski Z5 scope on it, I lightened the trigger pull and floated the barrel.

I then went to the range about a week ago, I tried the forum load suggested by @Carpe Diem and worked up quietly to it, 171gr of powder and 171.5gr went down the same hole during my ladder test.

I then tried 3 shots with the 172gr but it shot poor, I went home and reloaded some more pills and went back today with 171.5gr of powder and it shot 1 inch outside to outside or 3 quarter inch middle to middle which I am happy with and am now waiting for some more ELDX 162gr projectiles to arrive before I can confirm my load.

Every other round so far has been poor with the best being 1 and 3 quarter inch at 100 meters. Thanks @Carpe Diem for your advice on the load

Hornady/ Norma Brass
72gr 2217
Federal 215 match magnum primers
Coal to fit just in side your mag
162 Eld-x /m or amax.
