[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 408, member: 22"] Jonathan, You can hunt the animals and ranges with the all of the bullets you've already mentioned including the 200gr Sierra GameKing. I've always had good luck with R22 powder with 180-200gr weight bullets in the 300 Win Mag. Me personally I always used the 180gr Balistic Tips in my 300 and even went as far firing that load and bullet in 1000yd competition with very good results. The only time I changed was for an elk trip in '99 when I seated 180gr Partitions on top of the same load and adjusted the seating depth to where the Partitions shot the best and went hunting. To keep things simple....I select the bullet I want to shoot for the game/distance I'm going after and buy them. Then I adjust the powder/primer/charge weights/seating depth to make that bullet shoot. I think I can safely say I've always been able to take a hunting bullet in factory rifles and shoot under 1 MOA using this method. Saves rounds through your barrel and is quicker for your load developement and one less variable to eliminate in the equation. To help you select a powder.... in competition anyone using the 300 Win either uses H4831 or R22 with very few if any exceptions with 180-210gr match bullets. Hope this helps some. I'm not try to impose my opinions on you with the above statements, but trying to give some guidence to save you some time and grief after your recent episode with your Remington. Sure wish I lived close enough to you to get my hands on that Remington to see what's wrong. Shoot Safe! Steve [/QUOTE]
