    I load the 180 gr Noslar BT and Accubond with 74 grs R22 for 2960 fps out of my Tikka 300 Win Mag. Both bullets have the same BC of .507 and appear to be identical in shape but one is bonded the other cup and core. I have found they shoot the same so if I need a tough bullet I use the Accubond and the Ballistic Tip for anything else. Magazine length limits me to the Noslar bullets, I would like to try the 200gr ELD-X but would need to load single shot. Might try the 178gr ELD-X soon as they have a higher BC of .535. Probably load the 178gr bullet with AR 2213 SC to about 3000 fps when I change over.

    Pongo 12 what length barrel do you run and do you load single rounds or Magazine feed? They are real good speeds in the 300 Win with those bullets.

    It's a 24" sako. And they are magazine fit also. No pressure signs

    Not nearly frequently enough. When are we going to do some shooting?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The load works reasonably well - might be slow but that fat 208gr pill gets there in the end.

    Actually its a bit like @Rushy....
