300 win mag 125-150 gr pet loads

[Lee7588]

I had a buddy ask me about doing some light weight projectile loads for his 300 win mag. I know I have 150 gr projectiles not sure about anything lighter. And I have a variety of powders, the more I move things around in the cabinet the more powders I find that I forgot I had. I just picked up 3# of h4350 and went to put them away and found 2# of h1000, hell yeah. Does anyone have any pet loads for a light weight projectile 300 win mag?

150 (in reality 170 is) is my bottom weight that I would load, but been thinking about doing some in the 110-135 range? No help for you yet on my part.

130 grain Barnes TTSX over 4350 with a CCI mag primer. Devastatingly fast and accurate.

I'm with you, my lightest load is 180 gr. But my buddy has me thinks ng I might shoot a light projectile also

Thank you. Do you have any Chrono speeds?

Thank you. Do you have any Chrono speeds?

3150 fps out of the 308 and 3500 fps out of the 300 Win. The reason I use Barnes is at those speeds they still hold together real well, I found most cup and core didn't like those kinds of velocity when impact was under 200 yards.

I shoot Barnes and they have always performed flawlessly. I use them in a 257 wby @3550 fps and never had a critter take a step. Thank you for the info

I shoot a 124 hammer in my 300wm occasionally. It's 82.4gr of IMR 4350 at 3680 fps.

Thank you I was just looking at those

Just curious but what's he after with the lighter bullets? Speed? Varmits?

Seems to me a remember someone offering a sabot in the early 90's for 300 WM.

 

[Lee7588]

Lighter bullets and speed. He hunts whitetails and pigs

Wish I could recall my old load. Can't find my old log book. I loaded a bunch or reduced power loads with 125g bullets to break my wife in on my .300. The leftovers took care of a few crows. That was almost 40 years ago when we still had the farm.
