Taking a tip from my old friend Lefty 315 (he posts here from time to time) I decided to try heavy bullets in the .300 WSM a few years ago. The Model 70 is very accurate with 210 gr Bergers, and a bit less so with these 200 gr Nosler Accubonds. H4350 is the powder that's done the best for me. As you can see, the looooong AccuBond takes up a fair bit of space in the .300 WSM case. Muzzle velocity is a bit over 2800 fps:
The bullet was recovered from the 6th water jug. I've found that bullets making it to the 6th, 7th and 8th jugs are very serious, deep penetrating bullets.
Retained weight is 137 grains and the bullet expanded to .62" diameter.
