Thread: 300 Win mag projectiles

What’s everyone running in their 300 win mags?

Putting a build together, I want a heavy hitter.

Have got some 208 ELDMs to try, what else do you suggest?

Cheers

If your talking long range - 208 ELDM's would be perfect! If you cant find an accurate load with those try the 195gr Sierra TMK's. Not as high BC but normally shoots great in any rifle.

ELDX, think they make a 200gr?

215 berger hybrids if you can find them
210 berger vld
212 eldx
210 smk

If factory barrel and 11 Twist the 208 and up might only do moa groups

The 178 ELDX will group tighter

I like the 178 eld-x. I found it a good balance of long range hitting power and flat shooting out of my rifle.

In my old sako , I ran
215 vld hybrids
210 vld
200 eldx
212 eldx

I use the 178 ELD-X with good results. Can shoot it more accurately with less boot than a heavier projectile. As I get slowly more comfortable and shooting accurately I may think to go up in projectile weight. However, I rather not develop a flinch and this is why I have taken this route.

Will be out of a Sako 85. 1/11 twist. 23inch barrel. Would would your suggestions be? Primarily reds/sika.

178 ELdx or M

Can anyone help source some 178 ELDX?

I use 208 ELD-M in mine, but it’s custom throated, heavy(ish) barrel, 26” and braked.
For yours I agree 178 will be the go.
Now you just have to find some.

I use the 208gr , but loaded long around 3.650 , and 2217/H1000
