[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1967690, member: 3622"] Corey, I assume you want to get the benefit of a 300 mag in the way of a flat trajectory, likely why you are wanting to do this with a 300 instead of a 308 since we are talking 300 yds. or under. And if that's the goal you are likely looking at 32-3300 fps Muzzle Velocity. Several years ago I loaded some 168 Bergers for my brother, he was using a 300WM Rem Police and we went on an Antelope hunt in WY. Let me just say I am glad we were hunting Antelope as they were a bomb at those speeds. Ask Berger what they think concerning using this bullet on game approaching this velocity because sooner or later you will shoot Deer up close. I think they will advise a heavier bullet but again ask them. I like Bergers when properly applied, in fact I am about to load some 215's for my Sendero 300WM. In most cases I go heavier for caliber. Again, I like Bergers and the 168-175 is a nice choice in 308 but I am not sure what the Berger will give you over other bullets at 300 yds or under. The difference in trajectory out to 300 will be Very minimal and the wind difference manageable. I would look at something like the Gamechanger or Accubond and make sure I have a sharp skinning knife. [/QUOTE]
