Thread: 300 Win Mag thoughts...

I have been thinking a bit about getting a 300WinMag lately as a longer range steel target rifle. I may have the opportunity to do some reloading for one coming up in a month or two and was after some advice on projectiles and powders to use. I would highly doubt I would use the rifle for hunting and so target projectiles will suit me fine.

After doing some reading R22 or AR2213SC seems like good powders to start with. Any suggestions for an easily obtainable, temperature stable powder for use with heavy projectiles in a .300WinMag?

What about long range projectiles to suit a .300WinMag with a 1:10" twist barrel? I was thinking the Sierra 210gr HPBT MatchKing or the Berger 210gr Hybrid. Thoughts?

Cheers very much!
