[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1232509, member: 86754"] Sporter barrels can be super accurate...with some bullets. I noticed in all my "lighter barreled" rifles through the years that they can "prefer" a certain weight, even style ( say flat base over a boat tail,etc) A Barnes 180 TTSX is a good weight for a 300 mag...they are also pretty easy to get good accuracy from. I used H4831, then went to R22. There are several good powders for the 300 mag. If your rifle doesn't like that 180, keep dropping back a weight, say, 165s but if you go 150 be sure it is a monobullet. Just be patient, I never saw a good rifle in 300 win mag that wouldn't shoot "something". I once tried some factory Federal Blue Box loaded with 150 Sierra Pro Hunter bullets. It acted like Partitions on small Texas Hill country deer! So you just decide what you would "like" to shoot in your magnum and start working with it. Have a ball! [/QUOTE]
