I need Ballistics!!

[WVhunter]

I am thinking of buying a .300 Win. Mag. which bullet would you reccomend and do you have any load data or ballistics info on it. Also which weight bullet would you recommend 150, 165, or 180 gr

1. AccuBond
2. Ballistic Tip
3. Ballistic SilverTip
4. Partition

This gun will be used on bear between 100 and 350 yards.

I would choose the 180AB. As for load data, I only have what Hodgdon puts out on-line and in the '06 annual manual as well as the #5 Nosler manual. I visit the alliant on-line reloading data on occasion. Oh almost forgot my other data source, this forum.

180 AB or PT or 200 AB or PT.

Black Bear or Big bears? Makes a big difference.

If I read your question correctly, here is a link to a very simple ballistic calculator.

Just plug in some variable and you can play all you want. :wink:

moreloader, the bear that I am hunting weigh about 250 - 300 pounds and they are black bear.

A 300 with a 165 Partition will cover alot of bases.

In that case take your pick of PT or AB. :wink:
