Thread: 300 Norma Mag - Projectiles.

Morning team,

Got a second hand 300 Norma Mag with a 30” carbon barrel on the way. Predominantly plan on using it as a tops hunting rig, but possibly keen on some long range competition shooting as well.

Planning on using 2225 powder as N570 is as rare as pony dust….

Anyway, thoughts on the Burger 245g OEL
Vs a lighter pill such as the Hornady ELD-X 220g? Do you think the increase in velocity would outweigh the lower BC? Any other pills I should be taking a better look at?

Current plan is to load up both the Berger 245s and the ELD-Xs and chrono them - and run them through a ballistic calculator. Minimal windage and tight groups being the goal.

Thoughts?
