Thread: 300wsm- 20/22 inch Tikka with 178 eldx

so FINALLY got to the local and shot me banger first time! yipee!
Results.
RL17, Hornady brass new, 178 eldx.Seated 2mm ish off lands,24 braked barrel.2 shots ea charge averaged and then velocity spread between the 2 shots

61.5 2883 19
61.7 2907 7
62 2930 13
62.2 2935 7
62.5 2968 7
62.7 2949 26
63 2992 7
63.2 2986 34
63.5 2993 21

62 and 63 seems to give less spread-shoulda loaded up to the 66 max= next time.
Muffs AND plugs def required for a brake.
Roll on suppressor time.

Didnt shoot groups for the sake of shooting groups- cos if i did I'm only concerned with groups at 300-400 and I tend to zero- get a few inside an inch or so at 100m and go hunting.
26 shots thru same hole (@25m)
