Best 300 win mag round?

[TheVisorGuy]

What are those of you hunting with a 300 wm using? 150g or 180?

[locked up]

180

When I got my .300, I bought some of the Sako Super Hammerhead 180grn. They're accurate out of the gun but, that is what Sako bases their guarantee on. Haven't killed anything with it yet but, I doubt it's an issue when I get the shot. One thing I don't like is they seem to be loaded light with a MV of about 2850fps when my load books give me a good bit more. Going to play around after the season and see if I can get a load worked up with the 165grn Accubonds.

What animal are you intending to kill ???

[TheVisorGuy]

Deer, or anything else i shoot at

[nitro5x6's]

165 Accubond or Partition would be great.

I'll second this. Don't waste 300wn capabilities by shooting light bullets

200 partition groups best in mine. 74 gr of reloader 22

Don’t have the manual in front of me, what twist rate does the 210 need in a .300wm?

1:10 would work if pushed the bullets fast enough. 1:11 is suggested.

This is the Thread for my jump test and range time. Now if McMillan will ship my dang stock it’ll be complete.

Here’s what Berger’s website says for the 210VLD http://buybergerbullets.3dcartstores...ting_p_91.html

Visor Guy where are you located? You’re more than welcome to swing by and grab a few of the 210VLD’s to try out. That way you don’t have to go buy a full box.

[Saltydog235]

I had a hard time with the VLD’s in my .243 with the 1:9 1/8 twist. Called Berger and they said to try the Classic Hunter instead as the minimum they suggested in the 6mm was 1:8. Loaded up a few and tested, the group went from 2” to 1” or a little less.

I wonder if the .30 cal follows the same line where the CH would shoot out of a 1:11 where the VLD isn’t optimum.

[Tha Dick]

Loaded some 168gr classic hunter for my daughter’s 7mm Rem Mag. Wasn’t really impressed with the group 1”-1 1/4”. That’s plenty good for what she’ll be doing, so I’m not stressing over it.

[Griffin]

I like 10 twist for the 210 Bergers

10-4, thanks.

I actually had it backwards. 1:11 if you push them fast enough, 1:10 is suggested.

Wasn’t paying attention to what I was typing
