    best 300 win mag barrel specs.

    Re: best 300 win mag barrel specs. I prefer at least 26" with a LR 300 Win to get the performance I expect. I would go with no shorter than a 24" bbl if it's to be a lighter weight pack rifle .

    1-8 Twist 22-250 to use VLD - anyone shoot this ?

    Re: 1-8 Twist 22-250 to use VLD - anyone shoot this ? I had a factory Savage VLP 1x9 that shot 70 grain VLDs at 3450 fps and 75 grain Amax's at 3375 fps. To say successful would be an absolute understatement. You're stepping into a whole new world with a fast twist 22-250. They are...

    300 WM Remington 5R Pics

    Re: 300 WM Remington 5R Pics I picked up a like new 5r 300 WM from Gunbroker a couple weeks ago. I went a little different direction. I bedded the action into the factory HS stock, cerakoted the metal OD Green to match the green webbing in the stock, and threaded the barrel for a SAS TOMB...

    Berger 230 gr. Tactical OTM / .300 Win Mag Data??

    Re: Berger 230 gr. Tactical OTM / .300 Win Mag Data?? SOCAL if you use the 230 OTM and H1000 with a magnum primer you should be able to find a good load right around 73.0 grains with the bullet seated close to the lands. I use it in Rem brass right now, but it works in Win brass as well.

    300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical

    Re: 300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical Looks good so far. Any velocity numbers? BTW just for some perspective. The Barnes #3 manual is showing RL22 max for their 220 Solid at 65.5, and max for their 250 grain Original at 60.0. Based on my experience with the 230 my guess is that you'll...

    loading for 300 win mag?

    Re: loading for 300 win mag? H1000 and a Berger 230 Hybrid will turn that 300 Win into a long range hammer.

    Re: Savage fns11 30-06, converting to 7mm wsm? There is an option to do this really easily, but you will have to inlet your stock. I have a 270 Win that I converted to a an LA 7 WSM. The first thing I did was contact Kevin Rayhill at Stockade about his bottom metal that utilizes a...

    300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical

    Re: 300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical I didn't have complete Berger data for this bullet and I saw that the Berger's data for the 210 was a very conservative 62.5 max 7828SSC, therefore I researched data manuals and calculated my starting loads. The information I based my calculations...

    300 WSM with Berger 230 OTM Tactical

    Some info for those of you that like running heavy loads in the 300 WSM, I did some experimenting today with IMR 7828SSC and the Berger 230 OTM tactical Hybrid. I was intrigued with this combo because of the downrange energy. There simply is not a .308 hunting bullet on the market that can match...
