[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 361165, member: 5302"] Well, a .300 Wby. Mag. set a new record not too long ago. The guy shot new, virgin cases to do it. No surpirse as folks have typically got best accuracy with new belted cases at long range anyway. A friend used one some years ago for 1000-yard matches. His barrel lasted about 800 rounds before it went south; common for such way overbore cartridges. He got best accuracy with Sierra 200 grain match bullets. IMR4350 or H4831 were his powder choices. Folks shooting magnums in competition have never got best accuracy with really slow powders producing high muzzle velocities. They prefer their bullets land in a small area dead center in the target, not necessarily be the ones to get there the fastest. If one can manage the recoil as the bullet's going down the barrel, they will shoot very accurate at any range. [/QUOTE]
