Savage 300WSM build/gunsmith needed
L Cazador replied to ctafoya's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
For a 300 Wiz I'd go 9 twist if not 8 twist for those 180-190 pills. At some point you may even want to try 200-220 with the 8 twist. The big issue will be a throat length for the chamber to accommodate your magazine length and those 180-190 bullets. Make sure to discuss this with your smith. Think about where you want to seat your bullets if you will be handloading. Also I would recommend a 24 or 26 inch barrel for the 300 WSM. Those slow burning powders that it takes to propel the heavier bullets burn more efficiently in 24 or 26 inch barrels. Good efficiency equals better extreme spreads and tighter groups especially at longer ranges. -
In my opinion the overstocked shelves at the manufacturers will produce even more great price reductions. Many people are more worried about the price of gas and groceries. A much bigger priority. Wait a bit before you make a big purchase.

Company made hand loaded ammo?
L Cazador replied to LeonelV005's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Commercially made ammo is made to fit all chambers so it's woefully short in both length and cartridge base to ogive. You can do much better at home. Another thing is since velocity sells, the brass is not best for reloading if you expect accurate and reliable handloads. Time and again I see reloaders using fired factory ammo brass that wind up with many problems from the overstretched factory ammo brass. In a nutshell you wind up buying ammo that doesn't fit your chamber no matter who makes it. -
Sorry I don't believe in giving out information thats on the hot side. What works in my rifle may not work in your rifle. Start with a moderate load and work you way to max. Monitor head expansion on your brass by using a blade micrometer to measure head diameter. Monitoring pressure by bolt lift and primer obturation is not the best method.

Jeff, I have three sets of Sako tapered dovetail ring mounts. Two are Warne high and one set Sako medium. All are one inch tube rings.

Having shot the 30-06 for 60 plus years what CJL above says. You will cripple the downrange ballistics with anything heavier than a 200gr. bullet and probably you're best off with 180 grainers. Personally I opted for the 168 grain class bullets with H4831SC. This powder is temp stable and with it I was able to push the 168's over 3k fps. My new 06 is a 9 twist barrel as I found the newer bullets are much longer. Remember you're stabilizing length not weight.

I've got 2- one pound- H4350, $50 each. I filled these from my 8 pounder so same lot. I also have 2- one pound H1000, $50 each, and a partial maybe 1/4 pound 7828SSC that I'll throw in for free if you buy the other two powders. So $200 for everything in Tucson.

That's what I paid plus tax and shipping but it's yours for $600. Thanks for catching that!
