Kinda figured plenty were still using them, dad always loaded those back in the day ! Don’t have any around but I’m sure I can round some up
That's fuggin' nuclear hot man.
Yes it is, but I'm not having any pressure problems.
What makes you say that? I've been shooting 215 Bergers in my 300 WM along with tons of other guys and getting 2900+ with no problem. Not 'nuclear hot' by any stretch of the imagination.
With a 22” barrel and H4831?
Facts and absolutes are my forte. So I’m happy to oblige. A cursory glance at the most rudimentary ballistics program I have access to reveals that at 1400 yards you are 713 FPS under the minimum impact velocity for reliable bullet expansion with the Hornady Interbond, and 318 FPS with the Hornady SST. At that distance, those numbers are not insignificant. You frequently espouse on these forums how modern day hunters have lost interest in familiarizing themselves with their weapons, and abilities of such to get game killed. But you brag about shooting deer at ridiculous distances with what is essentially a full metal jacket. But please, continue to drone on about your “abilities” and “experience“ in such matters while you blow the dust off of a box of antiquated factory ammo and recite it’s effectiveness because it “says so on the box”
How dare you? He's killed over 700 head of big game, he said so right on the internet.
The title of the thread was asking for recipes. I was hoping you’d share yours. I‘ve been shootin a 300 for about 40 years, so always interested in faster and better.
And chrono brand. I may need a new one.
as I recall.
If self preservation is an instinct you possess, loads need to be worked up over a chronograph. Velocity and pressure are mutually exclusive.
I shoot for the most accurate load and then chrono. I could care less about velocity until I find what the rifle likes, then I can tinker with increasing velocity if I feel like I need to.
Did that ONE time with my old 257 Wby early on in my loading career……… never again !!!!Max pressure varies gun to gun, and you only find out what it is once.
Hope you find the right ram!
I would not go with Accubonds, I had the same experience with 3 deer before I said enough….
All dead though? mtmuley
Yes, they were all dead….
My experience as well.
Are you loading long for the 200 grain?
