Sorry, didn't see the my first posting attempt, I tried posting earlier and got an error message, resigned in later and I guess it returned to my original posting that I previously tried to submit. My bad for not paying attention.

Nice! Factory ammo or had he worked up a load for it? Also, did he have a muzzle break on it and how was the recoil?

Nice!! Did you guys use factory ammo or did he work up a load for it? How was the recoil?

Factory ammo, 190gr lrab's I think. No brake yet. Recoil wasn't bad at all but it was hard to spot my own hits till I got to 500 if I remember correctly

Gone

Any idea what COAL the .300 win magazine will take? It looks like a plastic magpul mag that take a 3.50 length cartridge.

Older thread but does anyone know what just the stock weighs?

I don't know about the stock. The rifle weighs 12.5 lbs with leupold Mark 4 and bipod.

it was asked earlier but dose anyone know the C.O.L.A on the HMR 300 win mag yet. is it going to be able to shoot the Burger 215's?

I'm loading for my friends hmr 300wm with 210 Berger VLDs. Can't remember the coal off hand but will check when I get home. I do remember it was just over 3.5" but not sure exactly

Thanks jasent, I have one on order and was wanting to shoot the VLD's. Wasn't sure if the clip would allow me to use the bigger bullets. My 300 win mag in a Browning A-bolt I have to seat the bullets way in to fit in the clip and that's with a 180 grain bullet.

I wanna say 3.6 was max for the magazine but I think the load it liked was 3.570

Checked my notes. 3.570 is max coal and his liked 3.535 with the 210gr vld

Thanks for the info I will take note of it, what powder how much, primer and group size is your friend getting with your load. I have the gun and scope on order and would like to hit the ground running or at least a starting point.

ill check the load when I get home. Re22 and cci 250 primers nosler brass. 1/2"-3/4" at 100 depending on who shoots it. Es is 12 FPS

I just got my Bergara 300WM put together yesterday. Here is the build list- Vortex Gen11 5x25x50
Hawkins rings,Key mount muzzle brake. The only thing i would do different at this point is go with the lower ring height.the next size down would clear the bolt and barrel. if anyone has some load data i could start with it would be much appreciated.
