208 A-Max in 300 Win mag

Re: 208 A-Max in 300 Win mag

I've got a 300wm, built with a 11.25T 5r barrel rechambered to 300wm. Working up a load with H1000 & 208 amax,1moa with current loads(2700fps) trying to get to 2850fps for 1000yd shoots. Will post the out come.
 
Re: 208 A-Max in 300 Win mag

I've got my 208s running 3050fps, moly coated, out of a 1 in 10 twist 26"bbl. Retumbo does the work. They're seated out to mag length in an AI mag. I backed my load off a grain and didn't lose any velocity so I'd say that's about the most I was going to get out of it. Never did have any pressure signs. Currently my long range load.

They will work fine in a 1:11 twist.
