Until I can find a better load, I have handloaded 20 roounds of .300 Savage consisting of 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip Bullets on top of 40.0 grains of IMR3031 I purchased in 2002 sparked by a standard Winchester large rifle primer in "accurized " Winchester cartridge cases.
Back in 2002 when I chronographed it, here's the results of a 5 shot group using Winchester primers:
2646, 2636, 2638, 2648 & 2653 (Avg. 2644 fps.)
Std. Deviation: 17 fps. (+9 fps., -8 fps.)
Accuracy of the 5 shot group = .466 inches @ 50 yards with 2 shots going into .216 inches.
Strength & Honor...
