[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 430913, member: 1208"] What are your loads for H-870 for the 300 gr and 225 and 250.I have shot under an inch at 300 yards with my 250 gr Nosler Partition load with 109 grs of reloader 25 and Federal 215 primers.I have not used the 300 smk bullets on game because where I hunt there are lots of grizzleys that pop up and i want the insurance of the 250 gr NP.If I hunt where there are no grizzleys or in the winter where no grizzleys are around I will try the smk 300 gr.I have another big 338-378 question.How to you get the powder fouling out easy.My rifle shoots awesome but if I dont clean it all the way down every 60 shots it patterns instead of the tight groups i like.To have a rifle thats under 10 pounds shoot this well is awesome.I think mine is right under 10 pounds with sling ammo and a Nikon 6.5x20 scope.I think this is the best buy for the money if you find one at a good price.I bought two of them I like them so much.I just wish that more people would use this rifle and see how effective it is on game.I let a friend shoot it and he got two caribou with one shot at 450 yards with my 250 gr np load.I have a bunch of H-870 that i bought for my 264 win mag.I have a friend who has a bunch of h-1000 I want to also try.I wish this round had beaten out the 338 lapula for the military.I stocked up on cheap 416 weatherby ammo and deloaded it and necked it to 338-378.I cant wait to try it on more game.I think the 250 smk might be awesome on pronghorns.T his is the most under rated rifle around for the money.Mine is one of the ones made in Maine by the military contractor SECO.
