Didn’t take much. So I paid a 100 bucks and a borrowed a reamer from Bobs buddy Matt. I acquired a bunch of 300 Win brass and using Bobs (actually Dobers) recipe of 65 grains of 4350 and a 139/140 grain bullet I formed up 50 cases. I put a 6x42 on top. Formed up 50 cases. Well Bob said H1000 was good so I didn’t argue. I used 160 Partitions and Accubonds. I showed Bob everything I shot that day. He said “Scotty, I use 75.5, give it a try” I quit right there for that year and Hunted elk with that load that fall. Holy Mackerel! What a treasure trove of great info. Thanks for posting both the data & a memory of Bob. You’re unintentionally setting a 2/0 hook into my Mashburn needy cheek - I’ll call Hillbilly again in the morning & see if I can set something up.

Later when I felt over-gunned, lol, I bought a 300Wby which of course was loaded with more 7828 than was needed. I remember blaming ‘crappy Winchester brass’ for the primer pockets expanding and ‘only’ giving me 2 firings @3300 with a 180 NP. Crazy days of youth influenced by Hagel.

I never communicated with him but wish I had jumped into the conversation earlier after his passing. Voice of reason he was.

I remember him calling me from the range saying geeze Scotty, this thing drops alot more at 400 yards than my 270. I said yeah it will drop a bit more. He wasn’t really into it. Nice rifle and all but I knew it wouldn’t ever replace his 270’s. Semper Fi

Kevin Weaver built the rig on a Kimber action, and I had the stock hydrodipped. I've had it for 3 or 4 years now and have taken a couple of Elk and mule deer as well as a few hogs and whitetails.

Perfect setup for your new build NYR, great idea and build MM1, bet it's a pleasure carrying over elk mountains, what bullet do you use, mine likes 160 Accubond over H-1000. Trump Won!
