Looking at 180 NABS for beanfield whitetails.

Sakoluvr,

Start at 73 and see what you get. R22 will give you more speed, but H4831 works darn well in the 300 with 165-200grn pills as well.

Yeah, I hear a lot about R22, but H4831 was suggested since it is one of the Hodgdon extreme powders and well suited for long range being insensitive to temp swings. I ran both through Quickload, and velocity difference didn't amount to a hill of beans.

I shoot 75.5gr of H4831SC with 180gr Accubonds. They are running in the 3050fps range for velocity. Groups were good all the way from 74-76gr.

In my rifle, H4831 shoots noticeably better (more consistent) than RL22.

Thanks Kevin. The high BC on the 180's and ~ 3000 fps is the direction I plan on going. Have you tried 165's? My barrel has a 1-11" twist.


Have you tried Bergers?

Did not mess with 165's at all... and I didn't not try the Bergers in this rifle either. I shoot VLD's in another rifle and was pretty much committed to shooting Accubonds or Partitions in this one.

My rifle (Rem 700XCR) is a factory 1:10" twist at 24" and the only other bullet I tried to get it to shoot was the 200gr AB's. Shot them OK, but not as well as the 180's. I would think your 11 twist would be fine with the 180's and even the 190 VLD's.

David, that is a smokin load. Sweet. Is that a compressed load?

Very easy to load,it's not compressed,have you figured out how much less powder to use as starting loads for the RWS brass,I like H1000 with 180 accubonds, but this load is just starting to compress

Is 3.830 written on the target your COAL? Is that a single shot rifle?

My 300 Win. Mag. H4831sc

Here are some of my loads.

76 grs. H-4831 168 T-TSX = 3060fps with 1/2" groups.

78 grs. H-4831 168 T-TSX = 3170fps. .392" groups SD 4 ES 7.4

The 78 grain load shoots great all the time.

76 grs. H-4831 180 NBT/NAB Will will shoot 1/2" or less with the best being.192" with the velocity at 3082 fps.

This powder works good for me in my 300. Another powder that works good is H-1000 great groups with a littel faster in speed.

Good luck and New Year

3.505 is the exact oal for a 168 gr ttsx,this group was shot with Borden Timerline repeater,accubonds were 3.527 oal and were shot with a custom Rem 700!

The magazine in my Sako TRG is like 3.75", so I should have all the room that I need. I have not checked yet to see if it has a long throat.

I still need to buy glass for it, but want to get some loads ready.

Hammerdown, thanks. You better hold on to that rifle.

You guys running a 24 or 26" barrel?

My rifle has a 24" tube

Here is my 300 before Cerakote "Graphite Black"



Here it is after.

25" on both!

Lots of folks have advocated 75/H4831 w/ 180s in this caliber, but my rifle shoots noticeably worse w/ 4831 than either of the 4350s.

I kind of like Accubonds.

OK, I went back to this thread to look at the load data that you posted again, and clicked on the link. VERY VERY funny. I saw one of the "episodes" before, but watched all of them this time. I guess you have to be a regular visitor to the fire to appreciate them, but I think they will make anyone laugh! Thanks and well done. TFF!

BTW, thanks for the load info too.
