Built a 300nm on a deviant action and MPA chassis a couple years back for the ELR match ( https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...warning-really-big-pics.808439/#post-10331271 )and just haven’t had a chance to shoot it much. 45 rounds on the barrel before today and now I’m up to 68.
I’ve got my left handed USO on it and I just threw it on there crooked to work up a load. I want to put a NF 35x on there when I can afford it.
I’m using 86g h1000 and Berger 230g until I get about 80 rounds on it and then I’ll start working up loads with the Warner flatline 198gs. These are clocking in around 3033 fps. And my dope is tracking really well. After throwing a few rounds at paper at 100, I shot a round at 600 yards, a bunch at 1000 then 800 and back to 1000. Dope tracked perfectly and I didn’t miss a single steel target all day. But my windage is acting up. Probably scope loose. At 100 I was either hitting dead on or an inch right. So on steel I would hold almost left edge and either hit where I was aiming or over on the right edge. Weird.
anyway I love this cartridge. Recoil isn’t bad enough to knock me off the gun so I can still see impacts and I even picked up trace once. I’ll have to get used to that. Definitely not like shooting 6dasher with a 22lb gun lol and you for sure know you hit the target both visually and audibly.
gotta love 6.0mils to 1000.
