I have just picked up a older rifle chambered in 300 H&H. Does anyone have any experience running 208 Amax in this cartridge?
Also any tips about reloading a case with such a long neck would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ream it to 300 WBY and then it gets easy, 208 Amax doing a comfortable 3k and not difficult to find sweet spot.Quote:

Depends what the twist is ?
What make of rifle is it?
Its a 1948 Rem 721, not original stock tho, 24" barrel.
@ Kiwi Greg. If I do change to a 30-375, it will get a new barrel. This one has a bit of corrosion in it.
Looks a nice BIG cal, especially sitting alongside a 30-06, saw it but you beat me to it
.300 Holland & Holland Magnum - Terminal Ballistics Research
Google it neck down a .375 H&H
Very Nice, I would leave a nice old rifle in a classic calibre as it is, I'm sure you will find a projectile that will work in it, be a shame to rebarrel it!Quote:

Here goes a few pics of her. She has had an aftermarket stock added at some stage, the blueing is chipped and worn.

Sorry the photos aren't in the order I thought they were......you'll work it out :thumbsup:
hmmm no idea but hopefully they shoot well in my 300winmag!!! got a couple to try sooner rather than later i hope. Rifle shoots the 178gr going 3100fps very well so we'll see :playingsmiley:
