Anyone out there have a favorite pet load in 300 Winnie for the A-Bolt?
I ask because...I'm still having trouble with my handloads. I've tried to use the Barnes Triple-Shock, but if I load the bullet out to 0.050-0.070" off the lands, then my round won't fit in the magazine. I've had the chamber cast to make sure it's within SAAMI spec, and it is. If I set the bullet just deep enough to fit the mag, it sprays patterns like my 870, even with a variety of powders and charge volumes.
So, it looks like this bullet design's ogive is a bit long for this chamber / magazine combination.
Do you have a good pet load for accuracy? Also, do you have a favorite reduced load?
Thanks!
