Re: Cast boolits in the lil 300.

I tried the Oregon Bullet Co. 170gr "LazerCast" bullets readily available from Cabela's but ran into more issues than it was worth. Started off having to shave down the feed ramps just to get one into the chamber from a mag. COAL was 2.02-2.019 and nothing outside those lengths worked reli...

Berger Classic Hunter 185gr. where to start?

First post here but I've been searching around for a quite a time now. I've pulled much of my base loading data from threads on this site but can't quite come up with any solid information on my new acquisition and was hoping for some assistance.
