What are the plans for the rifle 300wsm? Is there a hunt coming up? I love the anticipation of a new rifle, cartridge and learning its secrets. Really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

Glass is always a tough one I think. There appears to be a point of diminishing returns with the more you pay. My eyes are not good enough to distinguish between 90%-92% light etc…and most people don’t clean their lenses regularly enough so might be a dud number anyway. First and foremost for...

I slotted a nice young red deer buck a couple of years ago with the 260rem and the 120nbt. Took a few steps and fell over. I was pretty chuffed at the time, 303 yards from one hilltop to the next. I always felt if I needed a bigger bullet I would grab a bigger cartridge. The BC of the 120nbt is...

I love the 260. Could never figure why it didn’t take more ground from the 243 🤔 I recently played with the 100barnes TTSX which shot well with varget and approached 3,200fps out of a 24 inch barrel. I haven’t used it on game but suspect it would go pretty well. The other thing that makes me...

Inside 400, probably not too much in it in terms of drop, perhaps a little more in wind drift. Reckon I’d just shoot the standard accubond if you can’t get the LR version to shoot.

Thanks Gents, great info right there. I was not aware the bullet had been redesigned to withstand greater speed. It is probably the most accurate bullet I have tried in my 300wm and I have tried a lot. Interestingly H4350 seems to be what really makes it shine.

Just wondering how tough this bullet is. Is it okay at 300wm velocities?

How far are you looking to shoot? Might be that the higher BC is less meaningful within “normal” hunting ranges?

My friend uses h4813sc with the 150 accubond for a little more than 2,800fps in his Sako s20. It is super accurate and hits like the hammer of Thor. He described it as one of the most confidence inspiring guns he owns.

I have used the 140BT on fallow deer and pigs and it worked great. Never used the 120 as I always thought it would bleed energy too quickly…also never looked at the data either. I tend to use a 120bt in my 260rem and it has been an outstanding bullet, wouldn’t use anything else in it.

I had a bloke give me 3 boxes of once fired 300wm brass the other week because he doesn’t reload. When I look at the cost of a box of factory ammo, hard to justify not reloading.

I thought the purple was used in the bench rest primers 🤔

Yep, rifles can be choosy. I have a 338wm that won’t shoot 225sst’s worth a damn, but the same weight accubond is a genuine sub moa rifle. My little 7mm08 shoots the cheap interlocks better than any other bullet at the same weight and I have a 9.3x62 that you can feed anything to and it simply...

The rifle was always going down the road, but the choice of new rifle is still undecided. Buying new I essentially get the choice of a 24 or 26 inch barrel. I have usually been partial to 26 inch barrels in magnum rounds but wondered what the real world difference between the two was.

Yep, love a good tight screw 😎

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...
