I use 300 RUM cases. Neck them up to .338. I'm shooting 300 gr Sierra Match King's with 94.5 gr of H-1000 powder. Velocity is 2857 fps. This load has single digit E.S. on my chrony.
Pretty tame load, but very consistant and accurate.

Jim, They call it a swivel model, but it more or less cants to one side or the other. It's main feature is being able to level the rifle in shooting position versis pivoting for running shots,ect. When shooting distance, it's important to have the scope perfectly level. My scope is set up with external target turrets that do all the elevation adjustments. When shooting this way, you want to make sure the scope is tracking perfectly up and down compared to pulling the bullet off to one side or the other.
In this photo you can see the bore level .

Hey Tip: Where'd you get that shell carrier on your gun stock? I like! :eyebrow:
Here ya go.http://www.greenmountaintactical.com/Rifle_Stock_Packs_s/64.htm
Thanks Tip! :thumb2:
I'll be getting that next pay for my CDM (Coyote Disater Master) only it'll be black. :wink:
I bought a Beartooth Comb Raising Kit for it yesterday. Good idea & it gets my head up where it should be, but it's brown w/ no shell loops* which I like. So I'm thinking if I get the Stock Pack like yours except in black & put the raising pads under it from Beartooth I'll have the best of both worlds. :biggrin: We'll see? :shrug:
*Beartooth Comb Raising Kits also come in black & 9 different camos, plus ammo loops are an option.

Makes sense, mine cantered too...I just couldn't get the mobility I expected when having a coyote come in from an unsuspected direction.
