57.5gr H4350 with WLR primers goes 2775-2800 FPS in a 24" tube.Shoots .5 to 1 MOA right out to 400yds where I have shot 5 in 4".I use the data for both 180 gr accubonds and 180gr ballistic tips.The baltips shoot flatter but both are dead on left to right.RB
I have both Nosler#3 and #5 manuals here and both state for 200gr nosler bullets:IMR4350 min load at 64gr for 2790fps and max load 68gr for 2950fps.Load densities are 84-89%.RB
I load 300 winmag for a Tikka T3.
I load to magazine length,3.34-3.36".I have loaded 180gr Accubonds with 100%+ capacity slow powder loads.I use a drop tube,then tap the brass to settle the powder and I got the bullets to seat with minimal powder crunching.
I have loaded other manufactures...
Whelenator-well said.
I am a regular at a few of these forums.I take in alot with out too terribly much to say.I tried to hash through what alot of guys have to say,you can pick up some good points reading an arguement.
I am a mule deer nut/occasional sheep chaser.Throw in the odd elk trip and...
Eagleye-thanks for the comments.I was beginning to think all 1-11" twists did'nt like the heavier weights.Do your experiences echo Whelenators?Do your slow twist barrels shoot the partitions better than say the accubonds?I will look at the data and figure out where I should start.
Pop-thanks for...
Thanks Whelanator.
I am new to the Grizz game.I have hunted in their country but not for them.I am always open to details and any experiences retold to me.I will have at least a good 180gr PT load if not a 200gr load if I decide to try and take one for myself.I understand the 165gr PT has the...
thanks Kutenay for the input.
The T3 has a 1:11" twist rate and it likes the lighter bullets.That said if I want to use the rifle for Grizz,I can develop a 200gr load and as long as it will group under 2 MOA reliably I can use it to 150yds +/-.I am under that with the 180 Accubond now and...
I would be trying for an interior grizz.I think I am going to play with the 180 Accubond here some more,maybe try the 180 PT in a few more loads.Thanks of the info.RB
my T3 300 winmag shoots the 165gr bullets much more accurately than the 180gr pills.I am wondering whether a 165gr part. @ 3050 fps would be considered suffice Griz medicine.This load is hitting with 2900# @100yds, 2500# @ 200yds and 2000# @ 300yds.I would not try to shoot a griz over 200 yds...
I shoot a T3 hunter in 300 winmag.It loves the 165gr Baltips,.5 MOA 3-4 shot groups routinely.Took 2 deer with it this year,I plan on developing a 180gr Accubond or 165gr Partition load this winter for it.RB
I took a big bodied muley last week with a 300 winmag 165gr Baltip.I use 76gr of IMR 7828 chronied at 3050fps.Range was 100-150yds, complete pass through.Clipped shoulder blade on way in through bottom of spine and clipped shoulder blade on way out.I was expecting major meat damage,I was...
