I have a question for all knowledgeable reloaders out there. I recently purchased a 300 Ultra in Rem Sendero. I admit I was less than informed about long range shooting/hunting when I bought it. I fell into the trap of " bigger and faster must be better " little did I know
Anyway, I've got it now and so I'll make the best of it until it's time to rebarrel/rechamber. My question is this. Can I extend barrel life AND expect similar results of a 300 win mag by loading this rifle for the 200 or 220 grain Matchkings at similar speeds? Something around 2900/3000 fps. Or even .308 speeds (2750-2800) These bullets have a very high claimed BC. It would seem they would fly very well. I know I'm backing into this but i don't really have a choice.
Thanks for your help,
Jim
