Remington 5R PSS 300 Win Mag

[dugby]

To your point Mo boost I ordered some 155 Sierra Palmas to try.

Debating on which powder to try as well to see what it does.

While I understand that some 300's can shoot very well, I also appreciate the fact that it may be more of a challenge to accomplish it than a 308.

Thanks for your input.

71gns of IMR 4350 with both 180gn Sierra GK's and 180gn Nosler Accubonds do very well in my Browning Stainless Stalker. Clocking about 3000-3100fps. One of our guys shooting an identical set-up and handload to mine, harvested his cow elk at 1,200yds with 1 shot last year. BTW, it works.

After looking at the data last night and your comment this morning, I will pick up a pound of IMR 4350 today.

Powders can make a big difference.

Indeed, powders make all the difference in the world. Good luck.

Where does one get such a torque wrench?

Seekonks are nice, but pricey.

The Borka is available at a few places (and Brownells re-labeled one as their own as well):

Well,

Torque wrench and new load both applied to said firearm. It would seem that the torque tool shrunk the group some. I had the screws too tight for sure.

The IMR-4350 and magnum Federal primers load gave the same performance (Group wise) as the IMR-4831 and regular win primers.

I am going to try it all again as the conditions for my shooting session were not ideal.

Has the reciever been bedded?
That will keep the reciever truly solid in the stock while letting the barrel float. also check for barrel clearance, you should be able to slip a dollar bill between the barrel and anywhere on the stock in front of the reciever otherwise the barrel is not truly free floating. Some say this is not needed for synthetic stocks but it does interfere with the harmonics or "natural frequency" of the barrel.

I have bedded the action. The dollar bill slides freely along the barrel.
