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!!!

And yet sometimes I’ll restock out of fear of even higher price escalation…adding to the problem I guess. Thankfully our locally produced powders for rifle are still available though expensive compared to what they were pre COVID, are still cheaper than buying factory. I don’t think too many...

Who said anything about quitting shooting :D:D:D

We share similar hobbies Frank. Just coming out of our Summer pelagic season for Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Mackeral, Tuna and Marlin and into our winter species.

Cleavers who are usually very sharp on price. I don't suspect anyone else will be any different.
