[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 414735, member: 20657"] Hey guys, I have a question for yall, actually I just need some opinions. I have a new 300 win mag It is the rem 700 with 5R barrel. I am getting ready to start load development. I will be using most likely rem brass. Is it really nescesary to use something like rwi I mean i have had good luck with rem in the past but have not used anything else so i don't have anything to compare it to. I will be using RL22 or 25 powder. But my real question is about bullet selection. I am usually a fan of the 208 amax I have some loads from a previous rifle and this gun seems to like them fairly well. I have done one test with the berger 210s they look decent as well. But that is at 100 just preliminaary stuff. I am looking for good grouping but the hunting performance is my main concern. Basicly are the bergers $16 a box better, I am aware that matchkings are a no go for hunting. I have killed whitetail with the amax and that is what i would primarily be hunting but if i were ever presented the chance to go elk hunting I don't want to have to make a new load and get new dope, you understand i'm sure. Also what about the 178 amax that is what i use in my 308 it is a 5r as well and performs very well how much would i be losing performance wise.
