Reloading the 300 win mag part 2

[@portcityengineering]

Please make a long version where you go over details deeper! Love the video thanks for all the information!

[@frankt7432]

Thank you Mike for these videos. I had never heard of the Willis collet die. I am going to be looking into that straight away.

Working up a load for a customer's 300WM, and for my SAKO M995, as well, using a lot of same techniques. The collet belted-magnum die works very well!

[@devante5885]

Thank you for the video.

I have a friend who shoots .300 Win Mag and he swears by IMR 7828 for his performance in accuracy, Hornady (I believe) is the best overall Vs. Sierra, Sierra does Make some awesome bullets, however, they are pricy. Hornady seems to be "Nut's and Bolts" when accuracy and price are combined. You are doing a good series using the Vihtavuori as a powder selection, that brand of powder is twice the cost of competitive brands in the United States, most people here don't use it for that reason. However, you can't go wrong with it. it is great quality powder and you get what you pay for without a lot of shopping around. -Dave

i have a quick video i need to show you soon of the rifle and its groups and some long range stuff it puts out 300 wm is fast becoming my fav cal i take it everywhere now. that one will be up soon as i get the bits edited cheers dave

[@uynesgysman7020]

Good day what die is that you use to size the bottom bulge of the 300wm and what company supply it

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

Hi its the Larry willis die you can find him if you google Larry willis size die there is a link at bottom of the page. It's so worth it as I'm still using the same cases now as in that video 20 plus reloads later. The brass is still perfect

[@janthonydrivenpatien]

Do you have and info or data experience on loading 230gr Berger tactical or OTM? Or 230gr Hornady Atip? Powder choice and charge, primer choice? Thanx mano! You rock!

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

I can have a look and if I find out anything I will come back to you mate. Thank you for your kind comments. 230 gr bullets are massive 👌 I will check all my books for you. Thank you for subscribing.

[@anthonydavinci7985]

Excellent info..Do you fellas use Concentricity gage ?

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

Thank you. Yes I do but not for all rounds I make. Only really the target rounds

[@nickcoleman]

Can you suggest how you determined the seating of the bullet. I have a tikka t3x 300 win mag which has a fairly long throat. Folks have suggested cutting a case, lightly seating the bullet, cycling it through the rifle so you can visually see the bullet contact within the case, then adjusting seating depth from there.

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

With a long throat. If you compare the seating depth to the width of the bullet they say thats enough. So if your bullet won't touch the lands before dropping out of the case mouth. Seat them all the caliber width or shorter. You will find that rifles with long throats usually don't get much more accuracy by the seating depths. Play about yourself and see how yours behaves. And as long as the bullet is seated .300 of an inch you will be fine. Don't crimp them tho I have never needed to crimp 300 wm. Hope this helps a little - mike

[@mattyoakum3593]

How many grains of powder would you use if you were using 185 grain bullets?

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

I will have a look and get you a min max charge if you can tell me what powder you want to use

[@chrisj1863]

Mike, thanks for putting this up. I have a question on the Willis collet die for removing case bulge. You FL sized then trimmed then removed the bulge. Does that not make the case length grow at all? I'd have thought you'd FL size then go through the Willis then trim.

[@frankt7432]

Check this video out. Erik Cortina has a two part on chasing the lands. It made a BIG difference in all of my rifles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYO7nXZ9br6NmLM

[@dave5833]

What is the priming tool and where did you get it? Thanks

[@jeffreymurphy4229]

What velocity are you getting with the 212 eldx ?

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

2790 fps at 100 yards 1088.3 at 1000 yards with vit powder hope this helps

[@chillzlife8656]

how far off the lands do you set your bullets to? Im new to reloading 300 win mag. i was figuring doing .010 away.

[@mikebagnallshooting9818]

I tried a few different seating depths as normally I seat touching the lands these however were .020 away.

[@sergeynikolaevich6548]

Нормально обьяснил. Спасибо.
