DF: Oh there were....I will try to dig one up.
As I recall his 300 Roy was on a mag Mauser that was originally a 280 Halger that he traded off some soldier/veteran. I forget who did the stock but it was a nice rifle.JOC used that rifle here in Canada on grizzly,some other stuff...and in Africa as well.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Thanks, Bob. I'll have to check it out. From what I remember, he liked Roy but they were back and forth, defending their positions/theories, IIRC. That sorta stuff sells copy... And here we are, talking about them long after both have passed to their rewards... DF

RL-22 and 200 grn Partitions shoot sub-MOA in my .300 H&H.
It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

You are all liars.I have read it here on the internet that no one can shoot a magnum of any kind accurately.Only the 223 can be accurate. ED

It's a wonder we learned anything before the internet.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Thanks for all the good info. Excited about trying some 200 grain partitions in a 300 problem child I have.

Been too busy killing hogs and WT's with my 26 Nosler.
200 NPT loads for the .300 WM are in line after the season. I'll for sure be looking at RL-22 and similar. I have old and new H-4831 and others in that general burn range.
Will report.

This .300 Win mag does not like the 180 gr Nosler Partition,Swift Scirocco,Sierra GK's or the 200 gr NP. It likes the 165-168 gr NBT. Going to try some 165 gr NP's in it. The scope(Leopold 4x-12x-40mm) in the pic is now on a .25-06,going to El Paso to look for a replacement.

The standard 1-10."
I might try some Swift A-Frame 200 gr in it,but,right now it's the 165 gr bullet.
The SAF 200 gr is what my Winchester Sporter .30-06 likes and whenever I order some more I'll try those in the .300 Win.

Yeah, ya gotta go with what the rifle tells you it likes.
Lots of "snake oil" in ballistics. Lot of stuff that we can never explain. So, it's pragmatism that rules. Trial and error, and performance at the range.

elk, we have used 165's for a lot of years in the .300 and the 06.. Much of my elk hunting was in very open country, and in the days before turrets and range finders, that flat shooting 165 put much elk and deer in the freezer..
