So I shoot a .300 win mag with a 30” Broughton 5c bbl. I throated it REALLY long for the 230 hybrid.
Anyways does anyone have any good loads for this bullet. Also does it shoot better seated in the lands or jumped ??
 
My initial Berger 245 out of a 28" 300 Win Mag pressured at 2860 / 73gn H1000, 0.01 off the lands (accuracy was 71.5gn) 1 in 10 twist. Testing at distance to come. All previous Bergers (215 and 230) like to be jumped.

What was your OAL? and what brass were you using?? Thanks!!
 
Reviving this for interest. Not conclusive, but I ran these up for a pressure test in my 300 WM.
