He did not seem to think so, but I suppose it will be hard to ascertain. A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

OP jorgeI Campfire 'Bwana Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 42,620 Orange Park, Florida	Loaded up some 180r Speer RNs that came with the 300 Savage I bought from Gunner. I looked up in an old Cartridges of The World bool and found that 29gr of IMR 3031 was a "factory duplicate load" for the 180 at 2150 fps. Not so, here are the results o it and two other loads. Brass : PRVI Primer: WLR OAL: 2.530 (no issues w Rotary Mag. 29/3031: 140 fps but I'm just not believing that 30/4064: 1983,67, 27 30/4895: 1942,65,02 All very smooth extraction and no signs of pressure They all seemed to group well, but very low (which might account for the rear sight). I've done a search here and elsewhere and have loaded up the following: 3031: 31 4064: 32.5 4895: 32.5 Question is, what should be my target MV? Cartridges Of the World says 2150 but I can't seem to find any useable data. Also, the safety's a bit loose as it tends to move forward and lock every couple of shots.
