    My 300 WIN MAG (Range Report Added!!!!!!)

    Re: My 300 WIN MAG is Finished Finally That would be nice if 64.5 and 65.5 shot to the same point. If so then 65 would be great. You could sling a powder charge of 65 without being super accurate. That would save some time on loading. Nice rifle, love the 208.
