The vast majority of my hunting is done on foot with a pack. The terrain is steep but not crazy steep and mostly shots are inside 300. I have a tikka ember in 223 that shoots lights out that also comes in a 300wm. I don’t mind the look of the new xbolt speed too. The crazy thing is I actually...

Replace with a new rifle. Move this one on and get something that is likely to make it to the bush.

Hi guys, I have a 300wm in a heavy, 26 inch barrel that I am not overly fond of. It tends to be a safe queen due to its weight. Does anyone have any real world experience in the different barrel lengths as they pertain to this cartridge. A lot of the magnum rifles have 24 inch barrels. All...

My sons 270 was partial to RL22 when it was available, but it did not like h4831sc. H4350 seems to work a charm with 130’s of any flavour. Whilst the 270 may not have the coolness of the new cartridges, a fella could do a lot worse if it was his only choice in the safe.

Great bullet and 140 is pretty sweet in the 7mm08. I am launching mine at 2,840fps or thereabouts and they have a good balance of retained velocity, flat trajectory and penetration. I honestly don’t think you need an accubond at those velocities but being an Aussie I don’t hunt elk either, red...

Seems like H4350 was made with the 243 and 260 in mind 😉

That looks much better with the velocity gain increments and nice accuracy too. Chasing Nilgai should be an amazing adventure, best of luck with the hunts.

That last load where you stopped shooting is treading very closely on the heels of the 300Rum. If your chrono is correct I can’t imagine you are within the normal pressure limits. I have seen crazy loads shot in a 257 Weatherby where there was no bolt lift issues or the like but the pressure was...

Imagine that thing on coyotes…paddock pizza

If I could only have one cartridge, you’d have a hard time prying it from my hands. It is my go to.

Just a quick thought looking at your targets, and you probably already have, but maybe check the screw tension on your scope, bases, rifle etc.

42 grains of H4350 has been my go to in the 243 with the 95 nbt and the 95 hornady sst. For what it is worth, maybe the flat base sst will shoot better, most usually do but don’t have the higher bc for obvious reasons, not that it makes too much difference inside 300. Both of those bullets will...

Found some Remington LR magnum primers but it cost me $229 per 1,000. Well that’s enough to burn a 300rum barrel out 😂

Just wondering if your supplies in the States has improved? Really skinny on the ground here in Australia and am hoping we get some more soon and using you guys as a lead indicator.

You could walk into the bush with any of those loads be completely confident. I look forward to seeing your chrono results. Those tikkas certainly shoot.

I have settled on varget in mine with 140 class bullets. I have tried sierra game kings, Nosler BT’s, hornady sst’s and the interlock boat tail. With 42.5 grains all shot within an inch but the standout in terms of accuracy is the old interlock, go figure. Speed with those loads tends to be...

Got to be happy with that. Load development done.

Varner was our go to, but we also used benchmark from memory. Seems the 223 is more popular here in Australia than the 22.250 which is weird given how capable the latter is.

Hi all, I am about to embark on the 300RUM journey, once I have a set of dies. Is there anything unique about this cartridge that I need to be aware of? I was planning on using 200 grain Accubonds or 200 grain Barnes LRX. Retumbo looks like a pretty handy powder. I am really looking forward to...

That's a freakin laser beam!!!
