[QUOTE="woods, post: 265535, member: 6042"] Hey eric, welcome to the forum. Not being able to load to the lands does not mean that your rifle won't shoot well, it may just take a little extra work. I reload for 8 or 9 of the 300 win mags and 3 of them are Brownings. The mags are all about 3.375" max or so and that puts most bullets between .175" to .125" off the lands (not as bad as Weatherby's). IMO, since you will not be able to seat anywhere close to the lands unless you load a round nose or very very low ballistic coefficient bullet, then you might as well pick a very good bullet and see how well it does. My favorite for the 300 win mag is the 200 gr Accubond with a BC of .588 and it does shoot lights out in all the 300 win mags I load for, even the Brownings [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/DSCN0435.jpg[/IMG] This is not a super hot load but work up anyway. You will probably get less velocity since you are so far off the lands. As far as shooting long distance there are several things that will help. A good trigger job is one. An anti-cant device like the ScopeLevel is another. Then it is just practice practice practice. [/QUOTE]
