Thanks for the advice on all the different powders. Im going to cabelas soon so i'll pick up a few different kinds and see what works the best. Will post my results

Ive got a 300wby with a 24 inch barrel. Im planning on shooting 200gr AB out of it. What is the best powder for this application?? Since its a shorter barrel a slow powder like 7828 or h1000 might not completely burn in that barrel length. What about IMR 4350 or some other medium burning powder...

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try and see what my 300wby will do! In the mean time ill look arourn or some AR steel

I have a 36" diameter, 1/2" thick steel cover off of one of those huge fuel tanks. I was wondering if this would work as a 1000yard target? I know it is mild steel, but 1000yds is a long ways.

I'll be shooting a rem700 chambered in 300wby mag. Loaded with 200gr accubonds @ 3000fps!!! Guns got a custom muzzle brake and a millet 4-16x50 scope. An absolute dream to shoot!! The gun already claimed one bull last year! Looking forward to openening day- sept26

I have a millet trs-1, 4-16x50 rifle scope. The illiminated reticle has settings of 1-10 and a nv for night vision. Ive read that the nv mode is for use with night vision accessories. Where would i find night vision that mounts on this scope? If there is such a thing available. Thanks for any help

I use a good old 270win with 130gr winchester power points. Drops em like a sack of bricks. Longest kill was at 426yds with it. Also use my custom 300wby for when i might need to do some long range shooting at 500yds plus. Shooting 200 gr accubonds @3000fps

Thanks for the advice. Btw the gun does have a custom threaded muzzlebrake made by my gunsmith. I will post my results when i get time to go shooting

Of course.i always check my bullet drop and ballistics. Just dont quite trust technology to a once in a lifetime shot.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Ive decided that I'll be going with the 200gr accubonds. They've got a good BC and work great on big game!

That is a good point. Ive read a bit about the hybrids. I figure if i shoot the 230gr there will be more bullet incase it encounters heavy bone, should just punch through and then do its magic. My barrel is also 1 in 10twist and berger recomends a 1 in 9 for the 230 hybrid

A friend of mine shoots berger vlds out of his 300win mag. They are super accurate. Just wonder if the will penetrate a heavy shoulder?

I haven't heard much about the eld-x. Will have to look into them for sure.

Yes the partitions are a great reliable bullet, but the soft lead tips get deformed when i chamber them. This has caused some accuracy issues for me

Im new here so thanks for having me. I have been shooting 150 grain nosler partitions out of my rem 700 300wby for deer. But im looking for a bullet i can use on elk and moose with the option to still kill a whitetail. Been tied between the 200gr nosler accubond and either the 190 or 210gr...
