Well, I have been playing with the 300 Win Mag. My goal was to find a very lethal bullet in the 165 grain range to use on Whitetails. I like frangible bullets, and if I lose a pound or two of meat instead of blood trailing it through the skeeters and briars, then fine by me. Anyway, Nosler...

Yeap. You are correct. I was looking at the 165 grain loading data. 165's are compressed--all of them. It don't makes sense though. 75 grains is compressed for a 165 but 75 grains is not compressed with the 180 with a longer bullet and deeper seating depth. Hmmm...

Trust me!!!!!!!!!! I would love to get my hands on some Federal GM215's. There is not a single one anywhere in the whole nation. I even e-mailed federal. They said we will be lucky to see any rifle primers by July.

Just like you, I don't really see the point of having a big magnum rifle if it is not running over 3000fps accurately because I get 2800 out of the same bullet with almost half the powder out of my 308. My Redding Competition die says not to use it on compression loads. That is one of the...

Well, here is the deal on my tests with the 300 Win Mag Rem 700 Sendero. Factory ammo did not shoot well in the rifle, so I got into reloading. I like Nosler bullets, so I started with Nosler Load Data. (1) 70 Grains of IMR4831 pushed a 168 grain NBT 2880. Much slower than the load data...

Thanks fellas. Last season was by far my best deer season ever in my life. Maybe 2016 will be good to me as well.

293 yards with a 150 grain NBT on this buck. He made it about 25 yards. The side in the pic is the exit hole. I didn't have any penetration problems with the 308. Of course the 300 is pushing it faster but not really that much faster. The updated design on the NBT's has fixed the problem of...

I'm going to start out with 168 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips (NBT). If that don't give me the accuracy I want, I'm moving up to the 180 grain NBT. 180 NBT and 79 grains of H1000 looks promising in the load data. I'm also going to test IMR4350 and IMR4831. Out of those three powders, one or...

Thanks. As you can see in the pic, the cheek piece is a Bradley cheek piece, and it works really well. I also have a Timney Elite 1lbs trigger on the rifle. Factory ammo in the rifle has been Ok so far...just OK. I think I can build a better bullet. I built my first bullets last weekend for...

300 Win Mag in Rem 700 Sendero with Leupold VX6 3x18x50mm. It is not a custom rifle, but I like it so far. I also have a 308 in the Rem700 Varmint SF. My 308 is by far the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. I hope to get my 300 shooting as good as my 308 by making my own bullets for it.

Here is mine. I just joined this forum, and this is my first post here. I also just started reloading my own bullets. I hope to learn from you guys. It is the Rem 700 Sendero in 300 Win Mag with Leupold VX6 3x18x50mm with firedot reticle.
