If it shoots OK then there's your over all length.
Load 300WSM at mag length, if you load them out like we all like to think is best, its often not!!

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the advice I do appreciate it :thumbsup:

Yep, only way more is zero scales with primed case on and weigh the water volume
they are only predictions, as always work up:thumbsup:
better than eating the case pressure, seen that once, don't need to see that again anytime soon

The new load ladder are seated to the same length as the factory ammo, haven't got any factory losds to try or the time to chase around trying to find them so will just persist with this, have had good success replicating factory loads in the past.

Cheers bud, see how tomorrow's ladder goes I may hold you to it but hopefully I get a little closer to what I'm trying to achieve now that I've worked out what it doesn't like :D

For everybodies benefit - and to give Danny something to fiddle with when he can't play outside with his noisy stick:

Have a read of the announcements on the home page. Some email services are causing problems with registration emails.

Unfortunately Gordon who got this going passed away in January. I sincerely hope it can be carried on by someone. I will happily contribute to costs if that is the case. I would even pay a subscription if that's what it takes - it's a fantastic tool. And it's free!!!

Range report....


60gn: 2660fps avg 18fps ES

60.5gn: 2673fps avg 20fps ES

61gn: 2681fps avg 23fps ES

61.5gn: 2695fps avh 25fps ES

61gn shot the best group and would be about 3/4" but it's not really good enough, gonna shelve the 200eldx development for now and wait for Bryn's Targex bullets to turn up.
Pics coming

No chance.....if @TARGEX bullets dont shoot the way I want, I will just load up some 180gn interloks and use them until I can get the projectiles I want.

What projectiles are you waiting for to become available over what you are currently trialling?

178gn eldms would've been my first choice, hopefully the targex will do the job :thumbsup: kinda like the idea of being able to get them without having to bulk hoard them too.
