300 win mag and hammers?

[TylerP]

I'm looking to do long range hunting (out to 1000 yards) on whitetail deer. My gun is a 300 win mag with 1-9 twist. Im new to the hammer bullet craze. What bullet would you guys recommend?

Get your hands on ADG or Gunwerks brass. I think my first choice would be the 181g Hammer Hunter. With rl23 we can push these at 3300 fps. The 199g Hammer Hunter would also be a good option. Should be able to push these about 3100 fps. Will likely need something like rl26 for the heavier bullet.

Thank you for the input. I forgot to mention, the available of powders i have are H1000, Retumbo, and H4831sc. would H1000 be ok with the 199gr or 181g?

H1000 will work well.

Lapua is making 300 win brass as well now

Peterson is bad *** also

We haven't had a chance to try the Lapua to know if it will handle the same kind of pressure as ADG.

Im sure you have tested both brands in other calibers like I have but I have no doubt you shoot waaaaay more than I do these days haha. I find Lapua and ADG to be some of the best on the market, especially in terms of abuse they can take. I have a case of peterson, for my next win mag build, that I hear good things about as well.

Mine is a 26" 9 twist shooting 199s at 3170 with H4831 SC in virgin ADG. Velocity captured with LabRadar and validated using advertised BC.

the 181 is great in the 300 WM 3150 out of mine and no pressure signs. with 7828ssc.

I going to try some 180 and 180 in 300 win mag with RL23 this weekend at buddies range in Montana. RL26 shot great with 181 . Trying some different powders in 300 RUM also. I have a box of 199 but have shot any yet. Going to test 143 in 7 Rem mag Also this weekend for first time . I think I bought the box 3 years ago ?

STEVE,
Any suggestions on powders ? I have plenty RL26. One pd. left of RL23. Lots of H1000 and Retumbo. N565, N570. One pd. N560 . Also have 7977 and 8133. I tried H4831. Didn't shoot well at all.

Steve,
I forgot to direct the question to you about powders you are using for 7 mm Rem Mag. 143 HH. 1 in 9.5 twist. 24 in. barrel.
Thank you !!!

 

[RockyMtnMT]

Been using rl23 in both. n560 might be a good bet.

 

[RockyMtnMT]

I think h1000 might be good in the 7 mag.
