[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 2001460, member: 93895"] 180s will usually do very well in a twist rate from 10-12 in a 300 win mag with one of the 4350 powders. H1000 is known for doing well with 200gr and even more so known for doing well with 208s up to the 230gr bullets. If you have a 10 twist a 208 eld should shoot very well. They are some of the best shooting and least finicky bullets I've shot in a 10 twist 30 cal magnum. With all that said, in a light weight 300 win mag I owned, 208s shot well, I could not routinely manage the 6.5lb rifle well enough to shoot the group it was capable of with the 208s. However, I could manage it much better shooting 180s and I could shoot them well more consistently. Not that there was much difference in the accuracy between the two. The difference was me. I can shoot the 208s much better in my 30 cal mag that's a good 4lbs heavier. [/QUOTE]
