Re: 300 Win
Thats a fairly slow twist rate for a 300WM, I think the 190s may be as heavy as you can go, try it and see how it shoots em.

Re: 300 Win
I'd be tempted to try some 200's too. They ran great from my old 1:11. Worth a try. Remember that twist is about projectile length, so shorter bullets for weight will work better in a slower twist.
Like Kirk said, you won't know if you don't try.

Re: 300 Win
I'm stabilizing 208 AMax, 210 Berger, and 220 SMK in my 1/12 twist 308 Win, at speeds in the 2550-2620 fps range.
I have to believe they would all work in a 1/12 bbl, at 300 WinMag velocities.

Re: 300 Win
For what its worth I contacted Hornady with some questions about their 208 Amax for my 300WM which is a 1-10" twist. The Hornady rep told me all their data was taken from a 1-12" barrel. I don't know if he knew what he was talking about but that is what he told me, I am sure you will be fine.

Re: 300 Win
I have a 1-12 Schneider that loves the 220 SMK. I'm pushing around 2800 with it out of a 24" tube. I think you will have no problem going heavy with a more conventional bullet design. Though it looks as if others have had decent luck with VLD type bullets in the 200 plus range.
Good luck.

Re: 300 Win
I think you will be fine. Several guys I know are shooting heavies out of a .308 with that same twist. Just buy a few and try it. Not much to lose if it doesn't work, more to lose if it's the better choice and never knew IMO. Good luck

Re: 300 Win
I run 200gr SMK through my 1:11.25 Rock barrel at over 3100 pfs.
They shoot great, and flat.
