John,

The 1st round hit on the deer at 1140 yards was impressive - big smiles. The custom curve for AB seems to work very well as elevations at all distances were spot on - wind was, well a bit gusty!

RS80 seems to be a good powder in the 300NM, I've a very solid load giving 2940 and low SD's so happy with that. elevations TBA as the ballistic app i was using was out (consistently out, but out none the less) - 1st time out with rifle and Apps so not too worried.

Need to add the red dot to save time and stress at distance though!

Good couple of days shooting at Tiff's place, good crowd as well 😎

Sorry newbie question, but what do you use the Red dot for ? 

Ive used one on my 10/22 for fast target acquisition close in, but not seen one used at distance.

High mag scopes have a very narrow field of view which makes target location sometimes slow. The red dot allows rapid alignment of the high Mag scope with the target at which point the shooter drops onto the primary scope to take the shot

Concur with JMH's comments, found Fed LR Magnum match worked. 

My load was also using RS80 and 230g Berger Hybrids, very consistent.

Al,

I only tried a couple of primers as I'd used (after faffing around with other types) Fed LR Mag Match in both 300WM & 7mm SAUM previously with success and as the rifle performed well I did not do much more testing.

I had experienced funny performance in my recent endeavours with Murom more recently so did not go for any of them, but i saying when they were sold under a different brand a while back they were good.

Tried Murom LR Magnum Primers and got several hang fires (delay between primer and powder ignition) so would not recommend them (could just be a 'batch' 

Thanks guys

I'll get a few fed primers to try as well,
