[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1826033, member: 109378"] LaHunter76, Man I got the bug a couple years back to "upgrade and improve" my load of 45 years in my .300 Wby Mag. Beautiful old Mark V made in Germany. I used a dozen new 180-200 gr bullets and ALLLLLLLL those newer/slower/cosmic powders and at the end of the day...I went back to my old school IMR-4831 powder, though I did upgrade to 180 gr Barnes TTSX. I use 79 grs I-4831, 180 gr Barnes TTSX, Fed 215 primers, Weatherby brass. I get a pretty smokin' 3200 fps out of that and it gives a commanding vote down range--not surprised with 1 shot kills on Eland and Kudu in Africa, Elk in NM and Red Stag exotics herein Texas. I also traded the old Weatherby nostalgia scope on it for a Viper Vortex 4-16 X 44 HS-T scope. Very excellent bang for your buck glass. It really hammers that 1000 yd gong after 45 yrs of shooting. Long time of ownership but < 750 rds through the #2 contour barrel I put on it about 1980. [/QUOTE]
