I know we all have them, but today was rough! I took 4 guns total. 3 guns I got nowhere with and 1 gun shot factory ammo best!
I am still somewhat new to loading, so I'm all ears about different ways to test/develop/fine tune loads. Here is what I'm loading for:
1) Rem 700 CDL Stainless/fluted 300 WSM. Has been glass bedded also. I have IMR 4064, IMR 4350, Varget, and IMR 7828. I have 168 Berger VLD, 150 Nosler BT's, 180 gr Nosler Accubonds, and 168 gr Barnes TTSX. Have once fired federal brass
2) Tikka T3 Lite stainless/laminate in 300 WSM with same conponents available above. Have once fired Federal brass.
3) Rem 700 BDL 308 with 20.5" fluted stainless bbl and sitting in a hogue pillar/glass bedded stock. Also have same components available above. Have Lake City brass that is fully prepped to load.
4) Ruger M77 Compact Stainless laminate 7-08 with 16.5" bbl. Have all powders listed above and only bullets I have are 139 gr Hornady SST. Have 308 Rem brass necked down for these. I shot factory 140 gr Winchester ballistic silvertips at .75" today.
I am open to suggestions on some good combos for what I have. I don't mind to get a few new things, but I really don't want to go buy 4 new powders and 5 boxes of bullets!
Any help you guys can offer? All is appreciated and feel free to chime in on your results with factory ammo if you have these guns. Thanks!
