    Default Good .300WM factory loads

    With all the options out there (and how much they all cost), I'd like to get some input on what loads I should take a look at instead of just buying random boxes and seeing how things go.
    What have you guys found to work well in your rifles?

    Federal Gold Medal 190 SMK or Blackhills 190 SMK.

    What's the end use? That will effect the decision a lot. If just long distance target shooting, the above is good advise. For hunting, it depends on what your shot distance will be.

    Let me be the first to say reloading is the way to go. Bullet choice, accuracy, and built for your gun. Just can't beat it.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    This run is just for accuracy, I need to find something my rifle shoots accurately and consistently so I can get everything dialed in and get used to the rifle. Once that's done I'll start looking for loads for long distance targets (would like to be shooting ~1000y). I already know what bullets I'll be using for hunting, but realistically I won't be able to hunt anything with this till at least next year and will worry about developing a load then (and getting a reloading setup).

    If/when you do get around to reloading, the rifle loves 4831 and a 208 amax, the gun shot about 23 to 24 moa at 1000 yards with 70gr of 4831sc and would hold about 7" with no wind...

    Did you already shoot all 53 rounds?

    I'll load 100 rounds for $108 shipped to you. 50 of the 208gr AMAX's, and 50 more SMK 210s, unless you'd rather have Hornady 208 Match bullets for the other 50. Let me know. Email may be best.

    If you want me to load 200 more I'll need to go buy another lb of powder ($25) but have brass and projectiles...I actually have some really nice Berger 210 gr VLD Hunting projectiles that do wonderful things upon impact.

    My cost per round is about $1.25-1.50, not counting the time I put into them. I'll weigh and reweigh every charge, and do about 50 rounds in 2 hours.

    Hit me up on an email and I can give some more details..if I were you I'd go for the:
    50 Hornady Amax 208s
    100 Hornady Match 208s
    50 Berger Hunting VLD's

    I have Federal and Winchester cases, use CCI primers and the H4831SC powder, 70 grains in each works out to 100 rounds per lb nicely.

    All 200 for $216 shipped...paypal is cool too. LMK, most place want $2/round for decent stuff.
