Personally, I think 150s are too heavy for this class cartridge - they eat up too much powder space. I'd save them for 30/30 or above. I would not go heavier than 130gr or maybe 135gr. That's just my preference. About the longest bullet I want to use is a 125gr Nosler BT.

I'd give these a try. I can't recommend them expansion-wise, because MS doesn't tell you what they really are.

Here's some 135gr flat bases that may work.

I beg to differ with you on your opinion of 150gr bullets. Personally I've found 150gr bullets such as the Hornady SST and Speer Gold Dot to be capable of taking some very large game such as Elk, Kudu, Wildebeest, Waterbuck and Zebra. Also if you run the #s on one of the ballistic programs you will find that a 150gr at 2300fps shoots flatter at 200-250yds than a 125gr at 2500fps due to the higher BC.

Also the Nosler 125gr BT or AB bullets are not compatible with the 300 HAM'R, they have to much of their weight at the base and the ogive is wrong resulting is them taking up too much powder space and poor accuracy due to the long jump the bullet has to make to the rifling.


BW,

What are you considering too long a jump with the NBT's.

The shoot well for me with some very long jumps.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
