Thread: 300 win mag load advice

If you get sick of the speed arms race you can always try for accuracy I suppose...

Remington 700 with 25" Criterion std twist barrel and ASE suppressor on the front.
208 ELD-M
Norma brass, Federal Match LR primer COAL of 90.65 and jump of 0.5mm
72.5 gr 2217 @2807 and ES of 4
One hole @ 100 and very consistent.

That’s good shooting and a great load.

I was chasing accuracy too. It just happened that I found it at high velocity. I get 15 ES and .7 MOA over 5 shots.
My .284 Win is slow but accurate as accuracy is more important to me than velocity.

Obviously accuracy is important but to be fair I would rather an extra 150 fps and 3/4 moa than one holing shooting paper with an anemic load.

I would of thought 72.5grain would yield a fair bit less than 2800fps anyway? Interesting how different barrels perform differently
