Well, the reason I’m hesitant to shoot it “too much” is this is the last group I shot with it. And the two prior groups were just as good/better. (I found something it likes). I’d hate to rebarrel if I can avoid it.
Hi,
So after load work up and all, I have my hunting rifle shooting like I want. Question is-how often do you all shoot your gun(s) after load work up?
Other than 5-10 shots a year to site in again, right? Your done?
I echo what has been said. Buy the latest tikka, (muzzle break/cerakote) call Mesa/greyboe and buy their aftermarket stock and put a VX5 with Firedot and your golden. (More like 2500)
Your probably correct in that assessment. I’m positive that most if not all of you on this forum have shot way more animals than I could ever dream of.
I’m also pretty certain you all can shoot lights out push come to shove.

Thank you for everyone’s input. I’ll get some partitions (180 grain) as they closely resemble the nosler solid base bullets federal loaded years ago and this rifle loves.
Between Berger, changing depth of the Barnes, and Nosler partitions maybe I’ll find something.
Or I’ll shooter federal...
I’ll look into this. My 300 win and 300 WSM come from the same maker with the only diff being barrel length.
The 300 win loves the 168 Barnes, so maybe playing with seating depth will help the 300 WSM.
Fair enough. I do appreciate everyone’s thoughts.
I did reach out to Barnes and Berger.
Berger recommended the 185 grain classic hunter (due to my 1/11 twist barrel) so I ordered some of those as well as Berger 168.
If I can get them to shoot like the match loads all good. I’ll look...
I’ll see what I can find for 175’s or the nosler 180’s. I’ll try anything to get this thing shooting.
The nosler match bullets were a extra’s laying around and thought they might be good for practice. Blew my mind that it likes them.
Hi,
Been spending the summer sorting out the 300 win...it’s good. 3 good shots (pulled the third shot-so all ok)
Sorted out the 30-06. (You can see the walk up to the center).
Now the 300 WSM...it shoots Nosler Match 168 grain bullets like this...(see 3rd pic-4 shots) however it’s not a...
