my 300 Norma throws 230gr Berger’s and ATips with 85gr of H1000 @ 3050. What’s your point?

still playing around with this however 210gr berger 96.00 H1000 gets 3000fps

Has anyone inletted a B&C stock for a TAC338 and if so any complications modifying it to suit?

iv only gotten out once since the covid lock downs with the new norma build but shot a mature Sambar Hind/Doe at 656 yards. Average shot TBH, entry was angled, bit further behind shoulder then what i would have liked however exited mid chest with quite a large exit wound. She ran around 15-20...

I own an 06 and love it for close quarters stalking. I even took it to NZ and shot Tahr with it at medium range 500m. It’s def a capabale shooter and with modern powders it still has some relevance but..... the new “hipster” cartridges aren’t all hype as some may suggest. If you wanted an all...

Anyone have any data on load data, preferably with H1000 and Berger 210, 215 and 230’s?

I’m getting 3030 fps with the 195 EOL and 3060 with the 180 ELDM using our Ozzie equivalent of H50BMG (90gr) out of a 24” rock creek. This is my 2nd and am about to build a 3rd as I feel it’s a great all rounder with excellent performance. Can get Facotry ammo easily Easy to get brass and...

It’s not a proof trate like some have stated or suggested, I have 4 carbon proofs on my hunting rifles, all different cals, all shoot Cold boar and I can’t tell difference from my rock creeks which are also shoooters. If they had been unsuitable for hunting applications the likes of Gunwerks and...

dead on. This was only a youngish hind I’m guessing they are elk sized.

More so to run the 250 grain Bullets as the 1:9 isn’t optimised for the heavier pills

Thought I’d chuck this up and share my experience as I couldn’t really find any info on the Hornady 230 ATip hunting/killing/terminal performance before I started doing my load data. Worked up some loads for the 300 Norma with both the Berger 230’s and the 230 ATips, both grouped real well...

went to check out the brownings really liked em but the local importer isn’t going to get em in to Australia for a while. Mite be going the custom route again.

Hey guys, which mainstream companies are chambering in 300 PRC in lightweight hunting rifles ?

Best way to figure out what you need is to choose the bullet you want to hunt with first! 1. Choose bullet 2. Choose twist rate 3. Decide what speed you want to chuck it at 4. Pick length of barrel 5. Work out which case is going to give you case capacity to throw the desired bullet/bullet...

Why would you go a .270 when you have so much bullet choice in .284? Doesn’t make any sense. to the OP. 300 PRC with a brake is what you need If your wanting to take elk size game at distance. Easy to find Facotry ammo for now and easy to reload for. (Other choices are 30 nos, 300 RUM 300 win...
