Hello,
I have A 300 win. And because of magazine length limitations the maximum seat depth is to SAMII COAL no longer. I can always shoot single shot but would rather use the rifle as designed. From what I have measured the bullet jump is going to be approximately .228. My intention was to load Berger 210s or 190s however their web page discusses the need to adjust bullet depth for maximum accuracy. There is no adjustment flexibility with my Tikka so I am hesitant to purchase bullets just to find they are all flyers.
So the question, what bullets fly best with jump?
I have shot sierra 240s, and Hornady 208s and they actually group fairly decent however both rounds are not designed for hunting and the ogive on the 208 HPs load into the brass neck when loaded to COAL. Darn it.
I think that covers it, thank you in advance.
