This is my new hunting round. 300WSM 180 Sierra SPT, 67gr of IMR4831, Win LR mag primers and RP cases. Thats 3 rounds at 100 yards.

That'll do.

Got to love the 300WSM

Its 3. I didnt post a pic, but 66 did almost the same thing. Velocity is unknown right now. I'll set up my chronograph next session. Now with 180 rem corelocks, velocity was 2980 IIRC. That was last years hunting load.

Just foolin' with you. Groups like that are rewarding! Too much rain and wind lately in the middle of the country to get out and shoot. Got my loads ready but the ground is saturated!

Sure looks like a winning combination. All the best...

So a new Winchester bolt action did this good?

Now its time to find out if it will do the same thing under a range of conditions. That is a tad smaller than my best group with my 358 Win!
Nice shooting, nice gun and nice load!
