The barrel on my 300 RUM is ported. I use plugs and muffs at the range. I use plugs hunting in Colorado hunting for Big Game there.The ported barrel helps me to manage recoil shooting 200 grain bullets. Don

When I lived in Colorado I was looking at scopes at Sportsman's Warehouse. I was able to take two scopes outside while accompanied by a sales rep. That really made the difference for me! Don

Ditto with what Dr. Mike and Guy Miner stated! Don

I'm with Scotty! I've seen the biggest difference using Forster dies in my 300 RUM. Need to get some for the 30-06 and 35 Whelen at some point. Don

Guy, Your set ups look real good. I had the same thing done to my 300 RUM about 3-yrs ago. Had the trigger reworked and set to 2.5 lbs. It tightened up my groups too! Don

Guy, That sounds like a good load to refine there. Nice velocity too!! I believe your rifle has a 24" barrel doesn't it? H4350 is my powder of choice for the 06! Don

Not really looking for a FN bullet for the 30-06. Just the RN does intrigue me some what from the past experiences years ago. I'm likely to give the 170 RN 30-30 bullet some testing. When I do there will be a full report on results. :wink: Don

Yes I agree with you about the fast expanding bullets and quick kills, something I experience using the totally awesome NBT. I must say I do recall one particular 8-point buck I killed with the 180 RN Hornady bullet. Shot was real close to 100 yds. It was a broadside shot but hit him far back on...

Scotty, That's kinda what I was thinking too. I may get a box to try out some loads here soon. Guy, That bullet shot very well for me, good tight groups on paper, killed deer very well too. The bullet held together good as well. My thought is the 170 RN Partition will with stand anything I...

I'm very satisfied with the current 180 BT load I'm using now. The thought of messing around with the 170 RN Partition was this, it is a Partition after all and should hold together better than ones that are not. Years ago I shot 180 Hornady RN out of my 06 going approx. 2500-2600 fps, never...

I often have wondered what it would be like using the 30-30 170 Round Nose PT bullet in the 30-06 for Whitetails? Has anyone experimented with this combo or even use it at all in the 30-06?? Don

Scotty. You know I like anything in 35 Caliber. That is a totally cool rifle my friend.The short magazine box is what I remember with the Rem. 600 rifles. 180 TTSX bullets at that speed will flatten deer! :mrgreen: Nice shooting with the 60 grain load too. :wink: Don

Thanks Guy!! That buck was a decent buck for our area, but I have some real bruisers on trail cam in the 19-20" spread range I was salivating over! Oh well if they made it through the season they should be bigger next year. I belong to private leased land, actually 3-tracts that are together...

The 180 Partition is a proven performer for sure. I like the powder you selected. It's done very well for me in the 30-06. I know you'll have that load perfected in no time! :wink: Don

Expected performance with Ballistic Tips. Good write up thanks for sharing! (y) Don

My 2016 7-point buck taken with 35 Whelen and 225 Partition. Sorry for pic like it is not sure how to correct it!! Don

I like the partitions, but TOTALLY AGREE with Guy on the Accubonds. You can't go wrong there! :wink: Don

Well yesterday was our last day to hunt Deer here in Tennessee. It was the end of a special anterless season for landowners and leased land. I was able to kill another doe with the 180 BT load from my 30-06. I am more than pleased with this bullet and the performance. It puts the smack down on...

I've had good success with CCI 250 Primers in my 30-06. My good friend in Colorado that I hunt Elk with has used them in his 300 Win Mag for a lot of years too. Use them with confidence. :wink: Don

Great report and thanks for putting the time into it. My nephew in Colorado shoots a 300 Win Mag. He switched from Barnes Bullets to the Nosler 190 ABLR. He has killed 3-4 Elk now with this bullet and stated it is lethal on Elk!! This report makes me want to try the 210 ABLR in my 300 RUM now...
