300WSM 210 Berger Load Test

Post by Swamp_Fox » July 6th, 2006, 8:56 pm

Did an OCW load test for the 300WSM using Berger 210 VLDs and IMR 7828ssc.

It looks promising....

62grn looks good. Are you going to try to find a sweet spot between 62-62.7?

I also thought 200grn and heavier bullets were too long for the WSM case. Do you load them singly, or do they fit in the magazine?

singly (n) - With an attitude brought about by the act of singing. Swampfox loaded the cartridges singly, because he was in a good mood.

I load them into the rifle as I shoot.
I had a called flyer at 62.8, 63.1 and 63.4 or they might have looked a little more like the 62.5 shot.

I'll do a 5 shot each round robin at 62.5, 62.8 and 63.1.
That should tell the tale.
