[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1231799, member: 27307"] Thebear_78, I think the .300 Win. Mag. is an excellent cartridge when loaded with the proper bullet for the game and fired at the appropriate velocities. One of the .300 Win.Mags that I have is a 26" barrel with a 1:11" twist because that's what I had on the rack. It's cut rifled not button like your Broughton. You need to check yours a couple of times to be sure that you have an authentic 11 twist. I can shoot the 200 gr. Partitions, AccuBonds and the 210 gr. Berger VLD Hunter with no trouble whatsoever. This is at the upper end of a higher node, not the slow pitch softball velocities that some favor. The only time it can get dicey is when I try to switch to the 200 gr. TTSX-BT which is really long at 1.6" and needs all of the 1:11" twist I can get. If it's a little cold, I would guess that there might be the potential for a little instability. But you can drop down to the 180 gr. TTSX and make any shot you want in any temperature range necessary and enjoy harvesting the biggest game. This is also the same combination I use with my .300 H&H which is nearly the same case capacity. It's still all about shot placement and energy on target. There is plenty of energy, you have to make the best shot. Regards. [/QUOTE]
