.300 Winchester Magnum, 230 Berger OTM at 2750

840 yards






.300 Winchester Magnum, 230 Berger OTM AT 2750 after three days of 3 mile walk-through courses and about 150 rounds…

Anyone used the .308” Barnes 212 LRX “Bore-Rider” ?

Seems like a .705 G1 @2900 wouldn’t suck.

.300 Win Mag is the easy button. Recently took the path less traveled and had a LH Win M70 rebarreled for .300H&H with a 1:8" barrel. Why an 8" twist barrel? For the same reason I chose the .300H&H. Because that is what I wanted. And yes, the .300H&H's have been the absolute slickest feeding rifles I have ever owned...

Sounds like a slick rig!

The seven is your huckleberry:

"I want to shoot a 175-200 grain bullet 3000-2900 fps"

7 PRC. Recoil matters. A lot.

Any blood yet?

Not yet, waitin for a elk tag, hunt musket here

What bullet are you going to shoot?

Anyone he wants

Jud, that 300 turned out really nice. Shot it yet?

A good 300 is still a damned awesome bull/buck getter!

Scotty, got er tuned in with 225 factory fodder, shoots great. Recoil isn’t as stiff as I expected either. Should be a hammer👍

I think that should really work to twice as far as I can shoot!

If I had a shot out 7mm tube and was very familiar with the previous 7mm Rem Mag and had die set I’d rebarrel with same chamber with 1-8 twist and throat to my bullet specifications. Set this way the 7PRC will not give you anything above what you already have.

For a .30 mag and available components and ammunition in a pinch, the 300 Win Mag is an extremely proven big game chamber. Shooting 150-220 grain loadings with 1-10 twist will suffice nicely. In all honesty how many game animals will you shoot at 1,000 yards. The 300 Win Mag has downed more big game at long range than most any other chamber. The military has utilized the 300 Win Mag at extreme distances for sniper work for many years. Lots of data out there on the 300 Win Magnum for use as well.

It hurts 30cal Feelers right regular,to extrapolate a 21" 7-08 and a 180 ELD at 2600fps,to the things they swoon. Hint.

MK 248 MOD 1 fodder here(220 SMK at 2850fps),in "special" chambers. Hint.



21" 7-08 here,with 180 at 2600fps. Hint.



Bullets matter a "smidge" ladies. Hint................(grin)

Comparing a 220 SMK in .308 with a B.C. .629 to a 180 Hornady in 7mm, with a B.C. of .796 is simply deceptive... but that is your "schtick" isn't it?
Maybe a more shall we say honest comparison would be Hornady .308 eld match 230 gr. with a B.C. of .823 then things don't look so good for the 7MM-08

I am VERY fhuqking "surprised" that a CLUELESS Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit,enters her Hurt Feelers and quantifies her Professional Victim status...the "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?





MK 248 MOD 1 is the best pitch,as per the Post prior to mine,in the role cited. Hint.



The 30cal Hurt Feelers Club is huge and fhuqking HILARIOUS. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Larry if you are going to accuse everyone else of lying, at least make an attempt at honesty yourself.... many people these days understand the concept of " projection" so try a little harder to be more deceptive.... jeesh

Pardon simplistic Facts,upsetting you so,as you reiterate that you are a CLUELESS Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Perhaps go the extra mile and quantify how Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery,as you fill out your next Hurt Feelers Report and quantify your Professional Victim status. Hint.



Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even you can "afford" to "contribute". Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Facts? you mean like a 308 230 hornady with a BC of .823 vs. your 7mm with a B.C. of .796.... those facts?

Putting your insecurities on display daily for the whole world to see is not a winning strategy.... bless your heart
