Guest northernchris Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 With being real busy in the workshop this last week or so,we took Steve's 300 Win Mag out to run some loads over the crono and even managed to get out last nite for a few hours. Up to now he has been running factory fodder through the Remmy VSSF but he couldnt find anything that shot less than 1.5" @ 100 yrds. So we had a trip up to Clarkes to pick some brass,powder and heads up F++K ME £127 per 100 for Lapua brass !!!!!!!!!!!! After a few hours runnning the loads the best one came out as 155 grn A-max in front of 77.1 grn of N560 warmed by CCI Mag primer doing 3122 fps but stunningly accurate doing 5 x 5 shot groups all printing a nats under MOA with the barrel a tad warm after 2 shots ,next up we will have a look at some Lapua VLD's. Anyway heres a couple of pics of the charlies we had last nite. Oh and the new load works pretty dam good on charlie !!!!! maybe abit of over kill but hay dead is dead!!

ejg223 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Did a crow in yesterday at 120 yds with the 308, she died. Funny not much feathers just a clean hole. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshot Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just a tad bit of overkill but like you say dead is dead ,a little expensive though by the sound of the price of that brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 When he needs some more brass, which wont be for a while, I have found the Winchester brass works just as well and is a quarter of the price nearly, about £34 per 100 from RSD. I use 165gr sierra hpbt and sptbt gamekings and 180gr sptbt gamekings, they all produce near onehole groups with win cases, cci mag primers and reloader 22 powder. Nothing like making sure they dont jump up and runaway again Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
