Hello all!
This is my first post and I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Dave and I have recently been attending some local NBRSA 1000yd events and I have had less than optimal results with my 6.5 Grendel (no wind record was 7 15/16th's in light gun) and I have set about building a competition rifle to bring me on par.
So far I have:
30"x1.21" straight cylinder Schnieder polygonal barrel in 1 to 9 twist
Donor Remington 700 LA in 300wm
And a Gary Eliseo RTM chassis on the way
My questions are; what problems will I face when using a Long action with a 300WM magazine when loaded with 300WSM ammunition, and is this even feasible?
I would like to shoot the 210 VLD's but I'm worried I wont be able to match the velocity of that of the 300WM with that bullet. I know most of the disadvantages incurred when using heavy bullets in the WSM is that the bullets must be seated well into the case to stay under max COAL, thus taking up powder capacity.
Will I be able to avoid this by seating the bullets way out utilizing the space created by the LA?
If all else fails, I'll stick with the good ole' 300WM.
Thank you in advance,
Dave
