A shooting range acquaintance of mine got started handloading for a couple of hunting rifles about three years ago and he caught the bug.
A little while back I saw him doing some chrono testing for a new rifle, a Rem 5R Milspec in 300 Winchester magnum. He had loaded some 180 grain SST Hornadys and had them shooting pretty well. I noticed he had seated them to the cannelure so I mentioned the Rem 700 magazine has a lot more room to work with. I also suggested not worrying so much about velocity and let a high BC carry the mail downrange. (He has a personal spot where he kills pigs out to 900 yards or so.)
Well the light came on. The next time I see him he's loading the Berger 210 VLD seated well out on top of H1000 and he's got bragging group pics of his 800 yard target.
