Finished my 300WM, Thanks Mr Jim@NSS

I traded a set of cyl heads for a Savage 110 7mag, ordered a 300wm barrel from Northland SS and put it on after i got it threaded for the muzzle brake (waiting on a suppressor :D)

It was lonely without its scope...

On the way home from work yesterday we stopped by the range to test some different loads and run them over the chrono..

Traded a nitrous kit for the scope :D

Got a 600yd match Saturday so i gotta hurry up and work on a load that will do 1.5" or less at 300.

3750 fps with 210 berger ?

Thats what the Chrono said and its a couple grains under the max load..

just seams high to me
the last 300wm i had i could push a 150 nbt at 3600
with a max load of h1000

Maybe 3150. But not 3750. Check it another chrono
I could only get 3250 in a 300 rum and 208 amax. And that was HOT

Nice rig, Should be a good long range deer gun. Judging by your picture, setting the Chronograph in the shade is probably giving you messed up readings. 3750fps is impossible in that set-up.

Brain Fart!!!

2750fps... i didnt even pay attn to what i was typing... ::)


Sorry guys..



Actually i was just checking to make sure you guys were paying attention... Good job!
;D

Shot again yesterday, seems the average is 1.75" at 300yds.. ill take that anyday, but would love to have it closer to 1.5".

Average velocity out of 60rds is still 2750fps.

Good looking rifle, shooter and lots of luck.
