Here in East Texas the summer temps are brutal. Myself and several other shooters have tried RL26 in our .300 win mags with good velocity results.Speaking mainly of the Hornady 208 ELD. The loads we shoot in the cooler months show no pressure in our rifles until (each rifle slightly different)...

RL26 is not a temp stable powder.

The reasons for what you stated to justify fluting a bbl is all BS. According to to my bbl maker. The bbl should be remapped if this is done to a finished bbl. all flutes are for is cuteness... I have several ... but will not do it again.

Yeah buddy... this time try Varget...

I’ve been around a little while and have heard about a thousand ways to break in a bbl. First.. you have to break in a bbl if you want it to reach its full potential....break in is simple but tedious.... clean the bbl with Shooters Choice solvent first.. not Hoppes , it’s crap. Fire the rifle...

I’ve got both and prefer the Harris by far..

Me bad...

I couldn’t get the velocity out of the short throated match chambers I needed with the ELD 208. I pushed the throat out to .250 and it worked great. Some Remington and Bagara rifles are throated like that. They get good velocities.... 3000 FPS and above..

Dude... if you not happy with the ATACR line... you not gonna be happy.

About 71 grains of IMR 4350 with the 180s is the ticket for me...

N560 is definitely the best powder for the .300 ..... Good Luck finding it.. not to mention it’s expensive..

I started with a match chamber in my .300 with dismal results... trying to push the 208 ELD at 3000 FPS. Pushed the throat out to .250 which is long...seated the bottom of the boatail at the bottom off the neck on my case. Now with 78 grains of H1000 I’m getting the accuracy and velocity I...

I’m from a Benchrest old school... I seldom push my rifles past 30 rds before cleaning. Match grade bbls cost to much to abuse. I use Shooters Choice bore cleaner. I also use Barnes CR10 copper solvent during the break in process and never again unless I have an accuracy issue.

I bet one of your changes is the bbl...
