[QUOTE="woods, post: 866535, member: 6042"] The reason that you won't get much feedback on loading down a 300 win mag to 308 or even 30-06 is that most of us have additional rifles in smaller calibers and use those rather than load down. Loading down can be tricky in high volume cases with secondary explosion effects a remote possibility and loading under minimum can cause as many problems as loading above. RockyMtn offered a very good solution with using non-frangible bullets like Barnes TSX's, Swift Scirroccos, Hornady Interbonds, Nosler Partitions, etc etc This was a shot through the front shoulders on an Elk with a 300 win mag and 180 gr TSX at 250 yds going in and coming out [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/HPIM0684.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/HPIM0686.jpg[/IMG] You can eat right up to the hole and no gore It would have been even less through the ribs but he needed to be anchored right there Load a 200 gr TSX at 2850 fps (full load but a couple of grains below max) and you will get full use of your caliber with not much meat loss. Probably excellent accuracy also [/QUOTE]
