MRP - Wins The Five Shot Group

[Pathfinder]

I went to the range to put my load work for my Savage 116FHSS 300Win Mag to a final test by shooting five shot groups. I adjusted the OAL from 3.340" to 3.3195" The bullet used is a 180gr TTSX. The brass is Winchester brass with CCI250 primers. There were three powders that produced the best three shot groups and highest velocities out of 7 powders tested last week. The three powders tested today shooting five shot groups were RL-22, W-760 and MRP. MRP was by far the best performer in a five shot test as the target indicates below and the velocities were exceptional for a 300Win Mag with this level of accuracy at 100yds.

180gr TTSX, MRP, Win brass, CCI250 primers, 3075fps with an OAL of 3.3195" group size is .333"

That's some nice shooting!
Is the rifle braked?
MRP works very well in my 7mm Rem Mag, just a pity it's so damn expensive over here.

No, it is not braked, I really don't like a brake on my rifles.

Not too crazy about them myself.
When doing field rifle competitions, the guys who shoot braked guns are told to "shoot over theeere!"

Nice group and nice shooting, my 300WM loves 150gr Nosler Ballistic tips and 190gr Berger Vld's. 1/3 Moa with both.

My Ramshot Mangum powder is suppose to come in this week and I have also received some 150gr TTSX's that I will be trying and I am confident that they will shoot well in my Savage 116FHSS because it does not seem to care what weight of bullet I use.
