Winchester Supreme 780 and the 200gr Nosler AB anyone use this combo in the 300 Win Mag?
 
Haven't used it, but it looks like a good one looking at Hodgdon's site. Shows decent speed. Haven't heard of alot of W780 shooters, but I hear it is what Winchester loads in their Supreme line for a bunch of rounds. Scotty
 
I loaded some 165gr Fail Safe and 780 Supreme with WW brass and WLRM primers very good load.
I just loaded it to Hogd. Web site max load. Shoots real good in Browning FN 300 Win.

I have some 780 powder and was thinking of trying it with 180gr AB's in my 300WM. Right now super happy with performance of RL-22 powder. I had seen that WS used the 780 for their 300 ammo.

Hey FOTIS, can yourun those same numbers for a 180gr AccuBond?
Thanks. :mrgreen:
