Feb 5th, 2020 | |  What bullets for .300 Win Mag? #6623806 01/09/17 04:36 PM | OP  Pro Tracker Joined: May 2014 Posts: 1,090 | My new custom congenital .300 Win Mag is about to be done and I never shot a 300 earlier and I like some info on what you .300 shooters prefer in bullets and powders for some deer / sus scrofa hunting upward to heavy game / 800 lbs. I accept some H1000, RL 19, 22, 25 , IMR 7828, Retumbo and H4831. I like the Nosler Ballistic Tips, Bergers, and Sierra Gamekings. Just not sure where to kickoff. Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks Last edited by Big Stan; 01/09/17 04:44 PM. | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Mag?

My favorite hunting bullet ive shot out of my 300 (a wby 300) is a 200 grain sectionalization. Best accuracy I take been able to get was a 220 grain round nose. Currently accept it stoked with 165 grain accubonds and have non shot a critter with it. Favorite has got to be the 200 NP'south. So far I accept shot
180 grain factory wby spire points
220 grain hornady round nose interlock
200 grain NP
180 grain barns x (original x)
150 or 165 grain GMX | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Mag?

If you desire extreme altitude go college grain for bc. If you want a bit flatter get 190-200 area. I shoot a 190 accubond lr at 3050 fps | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Magazine?

The options are endless. Which one depends on what y'all desire to do, and powder depends on which bullet you cull. Personally, I'1000 running a Hornady 225 BTHP at 2800+ fps for the loftier BC and ultra long range I'thou shooting them at. A good dual purpose bullet for hunting/target is the 208 A-max. And the new line of ELD-M and ELD-X bullets are expert. Berger VLD's and Hybrids piece of work well, also. It but depends on which flavor you desire at Baskin Robins. | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Mag?

Redding Type Southward set and Redding total sizer die every bit well with some Norma contumely. The 178 ELD Ten and 180 Nosler Ballistic Tips can exist used for the .308 as well.

Likely take to get specialty high end barrel to get to 1-ix or 1-eleven. ane-10 will handle most of what one would want to launch. All the the bullets the OP posted will be no bug out of 1-10. I'd love to hear about the performance of thew 212 eldx. I'm so locked in to the accuracy the 200 is giving me not certain I'd want to modify only allow u.s. know......... | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Magazine?

With this load, I was able to get a muledeer at 413 yds and another at 375. I've bought 178 ELD-10 and really anxious to try those now. A lot cheaper than the Swift bullets. Actually, I got really expert results just shooting Remington 150 Corelokts as well. Mine is the Sendero. | | Re: What bullets for .300 Win Mag?

Both the Aoudad at 541yds and an Elk at 590yds tipped right over. Neither the burglarize or the bullet are annihilation fancy, but they but patently work for me.
