The sooper dooper pig 300wsm project thread

In my 20" 300saum I use 168 NBT. Devastating at all rangers,

These are available, and they have them in 195 grn too. They work well on game. https://www.reloaders.co.nz/shop/Rel...68gr+100s.html

I expect though that the Targex you have coming will be good. Ive never tried a Targex bullet that wouldn't shoot.

Thanks Bruce I'll keep that in mind.....168gn class projectiles are pretty thin on the ground. At this stage I'd like to stay heavy for caliber.
I'll try Targex 190gn and see how they go.....

Another option to consider is the Speer 180gn SPBT or Speer hotcore, but the later is flat base so pretty avg BC. The SPBT has a reasonable bc.
I’ve not run these in 30cal but have run the equivalent in 7mm. The HotCore flatten everything out to 300-400 yards. The SPBT are more frangible, more akin to AMAX. Best thing is they in stock and only 70-80 cents each.

Those spbt look like the next cab off the rank if I can't get the targex shooting right

I do happen to know where some of them 165 or 168?? NBTs are sitting if you want them bud....... fark they would really be the ducks nuts at speed.... be like the 125s are from .308 yip cannot see a downside to using them LOL.

Flick me a pm or text bro

Big cheers to @TARGEX for the hook up, will get a ladder loaded up tomorrow and see how they go. Got high hopes after all the rave reviews these pills get would also be keen on trying the 175gn Targex when they are available again.

apparently the factory winny 180 gr Accubond 300 WSM load has shot some very good groups 1 1/4" at 400 yrds

that may well be but unless you now a source to buy them they may as well be depleted uranium as they are about as easy to source.

James at RtoR shot the groups, an inspiration perhaps, showing what the 3wsm can do

[Hornady ELDX]

It was my 300 wsm that james shot the group with.
He has ordered some in for himself etc as i lent him 3 boxes.
Doing a bit over 2900 on a 21 inch barrel

I've shot plenty of good groups and developed plenty of sub moa loads, I'm sure I'll get it sussed. Just tricky finding projectiles I can get reliably that will perform at the velocity I can achieve is a bit of a juggle but I'm enjoying the process.
I certainly won't be shooting factory ammo when I can load myself for a fraction of the cost....that is pretty impressive for factory ammo with a decent projectile to boot

Sure is - I was astounded.

Back on task.....loaded up a charge ladder this afternoon.
Thanks to @striker for the GRT specs.
Hopefully get out tomorrow to shoot them weather permitting....
62gn-63.5gn going in .5gn increments. Fingers crossed
