It's probably going to be the 130's but we'll see. Going to load up a batch of 130's first and see what I got, looking for 3800 fps. Anybody run these through a 300 Mag?


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

That's going to be a lot of fouling...

The factory 300 wby ammo running the 130gr Barnes lists MV at 3650 fps. I imagine you could get another 150 fps out of them when you work up a load. It'll probably shorten your barrel life though.

All I want is about 5 box's, that will last me the rest of my life. I get 3550 with 150's.

Holy copper fouling Batman! You'll get a few accurate rounds and build up a lot of copper fouling from the solids. Have a good copper cleaning solution and clean about every 10 rounds, maybe less.

barrels are easy to clean.... I had to clean mine about that much with the 110grs running 3400 out of the .270

I don't think the fouling will be as bad as you think. I run the 80gr ttsx at 3850. Does it foul yes but it takes more than a box plus to get it loose accuracy. Them foam it,, run patches and it's back to normal.


Donate to TX Youth hunting program.... better to donate then to waste it in taxes

It has a 1-10 and I'm thinking maybe running a 1-12 on it. Yes, No, maybe?
