So loading for mag length I did some test at 100 yards with 180 Sc II's and 190 LRAB.
Although it doesn't look like the rifle likes either bullet all that much, there may be some hope on the horizon.
I did do one 3 shot group at 3.550" with 76gr and the LRAB just to see if there was a big difference.
Again, I don't have a lot of faith in my chronograph but it is what it is and the paper tells the tale.
Here we go:
The 180 SC II's.

190 LRAB.


There won't be any more velocity or attempts at larger loads as with these bullets seated to these depths your case capacity is greatly diminished , regardless of how you get the powder into the case.
I may attempt another test with both bullets and H1000 at 3.550" to try gain some velocity and cases capacity to get some speed more conducive to a 300WM.
The ones loaded at mag length are just about 3/8" jump.
Note - There was a rather stout cross wind.
