Remington Woodsmaster... first shots

[MW65]

Gents, finally got around to trying out the woodsmaster on Sunday... lee 312-155 sized at 309... 3031 powder at 80% max load...

This pogo stick is really fun to shoot! Need to dial in with Rel 7 next and rcbs 30-180... might need to get the side mounted scope back on there...

Nice shooting!

Good Morning
Those old "trombone Remingtons" have always interested me. Looks like your's wants to shoot !
Another fan of the RCBS 180 FN. That is our go to cast in caliber .30.

Gents, thoughts on win748 for cast in 300 savage? Anyone have experience with this powder?? Thanks in advance! Andy

it doesn't reduce very well.
i tried it in the 303 Brit and a few others with no joy.
a case full in the 223 under a jacketed bullet is a good place for it.

if it shoots cast like that at that speed i'd simply start filling a pile of cases and forget moving on to anything else.

Both the m8 .30 Remington and the m81 .300 Savage that I owned liked the Lee C309150F sized .309” over 3031.
And dropped the fired cases in a neat pile just in front of the bench.
Browning genius at work.

I have no experience with 748 and cast. It is my go too powder for jacketed loads in my .308W, 7x30 Waters and 223/5.56mm. All full throttle loads.

Thanks!! Rel15 and 150gr jacketed is my go to recipe for 300sav in my 99... have yet to test that combo in the Rem 81.

Using 3031 seemed like a good powered load, which cycles well. I'm scooping with a lee set, then trickling in to get the measure happy. Takes a bit longer with the large kernel, vs Rel7, which I'm low on.
