    My 300wm loves 180gr Accubonds, shot Deer out to 560 yds.
    Just bowled a heap of Pigs, Donkey's, Horses, Scrub bulls and Dogs with them, the GG's take a few when you don't place them right but they don't go far.

    Hmmm, not that quick then.

    It has been my observation over the years that 30cal projectiles in a number of styles are more frangible than their equivalent's in say 7-6.5mm

    My 338 rum was driving the 225 accubonds at 3100-3200
    Bloody devastating dinner plate sized holes sometimes.....but sometimes not so flash.

    That's the problem with a Tikka, limited by the mag.
    My AR30 300wm spits them out a lot quicker due to longer mag length. ie seat a little longer which allows more powder.

    The 300wm in the photo is my Tikka T3 with Bell & Carson stock and AI bottom metal with 10 round mags. I use my standard loaded rounds that fit the Tikka mag simply because I had a couple hundy preloaded. When I burn thru them I'll get some loaded up a little longer, there's still room in the AI mags.
