Thanks I haven't shot measurable targets out that far yet, just a few shots on Rocks & hits on Steel to validate it, no groups.

Send it up and I'll shoot some groups and report back if you like

Vlaser introduced the 300 Norma Magnum in their R8 this year. At the journalist event, several shot their best groups ever at 500m.

It appears to be an inherently accurate cartridge for sure & its extremely hard to argue with a 230 Berger at 3000 FPS

284 version?

Too much of a good thing?

Very, Very nice rig Greg

Yes the 195s are available

Can't remember the length but fits in the Rem magazine.

My reamer is throated perfect for the 195.

After 500 plus rounds the original 50 bits of brass were getting too hard so I gave her a birthday & prepped up some new brass.

Did a quick ladder test with the new Hornady 225 ELDM, the brass made a big difference & she has a new lease of life, pretty happy to be fair,



Very happy with the Proof Research Carbon barrels, puts the local ones to shame in my experience.

Looks very good. The new ELD bullets seems like an improvement, the 225 puts the 300 straight up with the 338 and with a useful hunting bullet. What powder?

The ELDMs do have a very nice BC, seem to be better than the equivalent Bergers & much better terminal performance for our size game, all be it possibly a little too good....

I use RL50.

Very nice!

I have been dreaming of a sporter in .308 NM for years,even bought a donor action.It was a popular round in Alaska for Dall Sheep and Bear before the 338 WM took over.(Ruger M77 Stainless with Leupold Scope ) is Alaskas version of a Tikka T3 in 7-08.
