[QUOTE="TH, post: 1058199, member: 1046"] Two years ago Tom at Thunder Valley precision built me a 300 Thunder Hawk. This is a 408 Chey Tac case shortened to the same length as the 300 Norma mag case with a 35 degree shoulder. Im using a 34 inch barrel pushing the 215 Bergers 3586 fps. My load is 98 grains of H-1000. I have shot the 230s but prefer the 215s my accuracy load with the 230s was 94.5 grains of H-1000 velocity was just over3400 fps. You should be extremely happy with accuracy I'm shooting one hole groups with the 215s at 100yards. One calm evening at Thunder Valley I hit the mile target which is 10 inches by 10 inches 6 times in a row. I have noticed this cartridge likes a lot of neck tension. I wanted an extreme powder so I have tried retumbo H50bmg and H1000. I have had the best results with H1000. Last year I used this rifle to kill 2 elk one at 802 yards the other at 1037 both animals dropped dead in there tracks. The insides were completely destroyed. Good luck with your new cartridge I know you will be extremely pleased. [/QUOTE]
