.300 Win Mag reduced load

[4fifty8]

• Hornady 150gr SP & Speer 165 BTSP both 3.1cc~40.5gr A2015 / Winchester brass / BR-2 / dacron fill
• .300 WM Sako 85 Grey Wolf / Leupold 6x36mm
• referenced Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook for ideas
• not a recommendation low to moderate pressure safe in my rifle only
• plinking load accuracy not bad

Interesting, I’d say that’s better than not bad. You have too much time on your hands. That’s a good thing.

I've played around with several calibers and some times the accuracy is amazing and still turning out hunting velocity loads. Made up mouse fart loads in several but never in a 300.

Yes, but, did you see the smile on the kids face after shooting his (dad's?) big gun. You can't beat that! And he'll grow in to it as the load increases. Started my kid at 9 this way, zero flinch.

Seems more like angry 30-30 or detuned 303 Brit velocities, but hey, I'm a fan of loading mild to wild as well.
