QL request for 300 Win Mag

[michsteve]

So I have all my stuff now for the PSA Browning bar deal I got last month.
What I have is the Browning Bar MK3 in .300 Win Mag.
I want to use the federal terminal ascent 175 grain bullet I got a good amount last winter pulled from Am reloading this should be a good combo i think

Stats.
300 Win Mag
Browning Bar MK# 24" barrel
Norma new brass
Federal Gold Match that came with the brass so not sure if 210 or 215
Federal Terminal Ascent 175 grain bullet
I want to use Ramshot Magnum

I do have Re 22 and Ramshot Hunter that federal has recipes for but the Magnum is close to the Re26 that is at top of the velocity for this particular setup and I saw the same for Sierra 175 grain bullets so it should work for the terminal ascent. Also I have a lot of Magnum and only use it for the 7MM RM so this would be another way to use up the powder.

Not a rush deal I have plenty of choices for upcoming deer season already sighted in. This is just a start to seeing how the new girl handles.

Thanks for the help this shows what I thought that Ramshot Magnum would be close to RE26 in numbers.
Federal did not test Magnum powder or decided not to list it. They had Ramshot Hunter which works well with the 300 WSM.
