Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 300 WIN. MAG. load suggestions

Does anyone have load suggestions for the 300 WIN. MAG.

accubond,
I personally like the 168 barnes tsx and 79 grains of r22,or in the event you want to make some burger use the 165 nosler bt's with the same 79 r22 powder charge,both work well for my ruger 300 win mag and my browning 300 win mag.Hope this helps you a little.

A MAX load of 75 to 77grs of RL-22 and your favorite 180gr bullet usually works wonders in 300 Win mags...................DJ

I used to shoot a 26" Rem 700 in .300 win mag for deer. My loads were a 150gr ballistic tip over 78.5 grains of IMR4831 for 3350 fps or a 168 ballistic silvertip over 80 grains of IMR7828 for 3275 fps. Both were loaded in W-W cases at a length to almost touch the lands. Both loads shot very well. 81 grains of IMR 7828 under a 165 Gameking gave me 3350 fps but was not as accurate. These loads were safe in my rifle.

178 Amax over 75.5grs. RE22, WLR primers, Win. brass shoots in the 4s in a buddies Sako, same load with 180 Hornady SPs shoots 1/4" bigger. JAG

Imr4350 73Gr. CCI 250 primer, 180 gr. Accubond. Groups average around .5 and get 3170 fps. out of a 26 inch barrel. Shoots well out to 1000 yds. Always start low and work up. Tak

COL=3.330. 168 grain Barnes tripple shocks.76 GRAINS IMR 7828.Primer CCI 250 magnum primer.No pressure flat shooting and accurate.

While were at it, does anyone have a pet load for the Barnes X 200 gr flat base?

Thanks,
Ted

180 Nos Partition RL 22 -76 grains- 3025 fps

168 Barnes TSX RL 22-79 grains, or RL 19 -78 grains, or H4350-74 grains for 3190 fps to 3243 fps

Great accuracy in my rifle:

168 grain Barnes Triple Shock, 84 grains H-1000, Winchester Large Rifle primers, Win cases.

180 grain Barnes Triple Shock, 81 grains H-1000, Winchester Large Rifle primers, Win cases.

I also shoot the 81 gr load of H-1000 in winchester brass, but use the federal 215 primer the load shoots .625 to 1 inch groups at 300 yards.It is also extremely consistent although not the fastest load that I have tried, my extreme spread when cronographed was 5 FPS YES 5 FEET PER SECOUND. I love this combonation for long range as the verticle spread is not a problem at extreme range caused by varing velocity. H-1000 is awsome in the 300 Win Mag

jwp475, What speed do you get and how long is your barrel?

I get 3073 fps average my barrel is 27 1/4" not counting the brake 28 7/8" counting the brake

How far out do you shoot?

I have a Win 70 Supergrade in 300WM that lets you know that it doesn't like most recipes by throwing 4-6"patterns. Finally found a load with 180 Accubonds, 69.0 gr H4350, Fed 215M, that gets 5 shots close to MOA. For behaving this once, I took it elk hunting this past fall.

I shoot out to 1000yards with this rifle

If you want to burn up any old H870 it shoots real nice and soft out of a 300 win mag. 180 noslers don't kick at all. But it does require some cleaning when you're done.
