I'm either lucky, or too easy to get along with. I've always viewed reloading for my rifles as either a way to shoot a lot more, or been lucky enough to come up with an accurate (enough) round for my needs.
Recently bought a high-quality but apparently finicky 300 Win Mag. So now I need to work up a load to get to the level of accuracy I am after--the gun is guaranteed 1 MOA, for whatever that's worth, but some of my existing loads made for other rifles have been stinkers. 3 MOA or so.
So, when working up hunting loads, do you find more reward in using different powders, or a change in projectiles? As primarily a hunter, I usually choose the bullet I want to use, then work with a couple of powders until I am where I want to be. But perhaps this is not the best.
Will probably use an variation of the OCW method for this rifle, but not really sure where to start.
