25-300 WSM LOAD DATA NEED HELP

[farmerjohn]

HI OUT THERE, IT'S DEER SEASON HERE IN ARKANSAS, PUT AWAY MY COMP. RIFLES AND PICKED UP WHERE I LEFT OFF LAST WINTER WITH HUNTING. I BUILT A 25-300 WSM AND DEVELOPED A FEW LOADS FOR IT, WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE WAS PLAYING WITH ONE? IF SO WOULD YOU SHARE YOUR DATA WITH ME? THANKS JF

I built one on a Rem 700 LA with a 1 in 9 Douglas barrel. I set it up with the Berger 115 Vld touching the lands out of the winny 300 wsm brass necked down I use 56 grains of 7828 SSC (Super Short Cut) powder, Federal Large Rifle Mag Primers and it shoots great doesnt even recoil like a short mag. Off the bipod ive shot a five shot group I could cover with a dime. If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me a PM. Good Luck

Hey Jim, Thanks for the input. I got this thing running last year on 115 barnes and it's a real copper fouler past 3000fps. I got a 10 twist and was looking to lower the pressure and mabe get a little more than a 06 or .284-25 without running the pressure too high. As I fool with this thing more, I'll keep you informed of my findings, thanks JF
