Ok, so I I have real nice load work up for my 300 win mag shooting 1/4 moa but this is with a 180 Nosler Accubond bullet.
I am wanting to change and go as large of a grain projectile as possible for a new load work up. No weird bullet brands that I can't find. Needs to have the best BC but not a target bullet. In other words a dual purpose projectile if there is one. Any suggestions?
Current workup:
Nosler Accubond 180 grain
IMR 4831 70.7 grains
24" barrel
1 in 10 twist

My 300 win mag is my toy. Dual purpose gun. I target shoot long range 500 to 1000 yards but I have fun with hogs too so the projectile needs to be a hunting round as well.

First off if its shooting all groups that measure .250 then I would never change. If you did though I would probably wait for the new Hornady LR hunting bullets to hit the shelves later in December.

This info is worth reading IMO.

I have ladder tested the 210 Berger VLD in a friend's .300 Win Mag. Still have to group shoot it.

Federal 215M
H-1000

Looks like +/- 77.0 gr is where his is going to shoot.

Check the BC on that 210, it is a hoss of a bullet!

Yes, all groups are in the range of .25 to .375. Of course if you factor cold bore and hot barrel it does open up to average of .50 moa.
