Rob1562 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi all, as per title, is anyone foxing with a lightish bullet in their WSM ? I was thinking of loading my Blaser R93 300wsm with either a 100 or 110 grn bullet with the intention of achieving 3000+fps....anyone out there currently shooting such a thing ? Regards, Rob.

drum Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Ran 130 hornady soft points and h4895 and 110 vmax with so70 through a Browning eclipse. Both provided spectacular results in both mid range accuracy and terminal effect. Currently shoot a t3 which dosnt like these lighter bullets at all.

Biathlonjimmy Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 You should be able to push 125gr at circa 3400fps. That will be fairly emphatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOK Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't think this I quite what your asking but I run a 270 WSM case that's necked down to 6mm which pushes the 55g Noslers out at over 4,500 ft/sec OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1562 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks for the replies so far guys. I currently run 155grn Berger vld's and these are both extremely accurate and effective as a deer round, although a bit overkill on Roe. I was wondering if anyone knew whether the standard Blaser twist would stabilise these lighter bullets ? If no one has tried that combination, I guess there's only one way to find out !! Regards,Rob.

AnthonyR Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Your problem won't be stabilizing the lighter the bullets, it will be the opposite, if you spin them too fast they may blow to pieces in flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
