Even with a boiler room like 300WM, I'd be wary of 168+ gn bullets in 13 twist.
150-155gn would be much better - I'm sure @ebf could help there.
I'm still learning LR tricks.
Bit of a miscalculate on 80.02mm CBTO measure ^^^.
Forgot to take 25.4mm off for the gauge

All good. more asking out of curiosity. I have never dabbled with barrel twists, long range shooting or much reloading to optimise groups.
If the packet I bought shot ok at a hundy in my rifle that was the end of it. I struggle with the fine tuning of it all and to me spending a bunch of coin chasing the tightest groups just doesn't work. I have only ever reloaded for my big gun because I had to and that was on my mates press. I just bought the dies.
Anything else would have to be super easy and cheap.
