Now that I've got your attention. I want to work up a good accurate load for the Sportsman's Warehouse competition. I have a 300 Win Mag made by Stevens. It seems to be really good if I follow a few rules while shooting it, like let it cool between shots. Anyway, being that I can't afford to try every bullet, powder and load there is.
Should I start with a heavier or lighter or in between weight bullet?
Should I start with a faster or slower or in between power?
So far I've found that hotter loads seem to be more accurate, but still, the question is.
Should I start with a hotter or cooler or in between load?
That with with 180 grain Speer bullet and Re22 power.
I know it comes down to what the gun likes, I just need a place to start.
And a good bullet to use too. I understand that Sierra is good.

P.S. I know this gun is good. I dropped a bison on the run at about a hundred yards with one shot. The shell has a permanent place taped to my monitor.
