Just a hint - the WSM's run at some serious pressures and you can run into some unanticipated pressure changes with farily slight changes in seating depth. At least in my experience. Mine shoots the 180's best using H4831sc near Nosler's book max load - not a barnburner for velocity, but great consistency with very little vertical......(and it happens to match well with the DBC type reticle I'm using).......

Your OAL measurements are helpful. Do you happen to know what the distance is from the bolt face to the lands? Just curious.

The fact that you guys get tight groups with the 300 WSM is encouraging to me. Thank you for listing the bullet/powder combination.
