A 300 win mag is my main big game rifle. And 200 NPs are all I shoot out of it. This may border on treason on 24hour, but I really hate experimenting with different loads or changing my load for the next hunt or game animal.
I built my rifle wanting it to be able to handle almost anything with one load.
Bravo! And the 200 gr Partition is a great load for the 300 WM.I used to get a bit over 2900 fps from the 300 WM,and a bit over 3000 in the Weatherby. The bullet is a great penetrator.
Ralphie nailed it didn't he Bob. I'm a 1 bullet 1 load kind of guy as well. Especially when I find a sweet one. I decided when I was using the 300 win mag that that was the only bullet I was going to use. I remember working up a load in my left hand Ruger m77 mkII 300 win mag that was a hair over 2,900 fps and that's all the faster I cared to push that bullet/rifle combo. Plenty of thump and very accurate. Sorry guys, but I'm a big time IMR 4350 user in just about everything I own. That's the powder I ran:
68g. IMR 4350
R-P brass
CCI 250
Nosler 200gr. partition
3.355" (.020" off the lands)
Sub moa 5 shot groups at 2910 fps average velocity... I'm also one of the guys that bought up a bunch of those $13.45/50 200 gr. partitions last month. Couldn't pass that deal up!!! They will get used in my dad's 300....
