300 win mag question

[TooTallMike]

I just finished load development for my 300WM

I'm using Barnes 168gr TTSX. They have been tested to expand down to 1500fps

I'm pushing 3175fps and not even near max loads recommended by Barnes.

At 800yds I'm still at 1135 ft/lbs

And it's shooting sub 1/2 moa

Really happy with it.

Btw I'm using R17

I picked up some TTSX's for my winmag too.  I got 165's.  I plan to use them for bear next fall if hunting is allowed by then.

If you like the TTSX you should also try out the LRX. Great in the air and on game

I appreciate everyone’s input. Just gathering other points of view

Why a 300 win if you don’t want to shoot a 300 win?

Truth is I want a gun with more “thwack” and most likely just shoot factory loads with it. Already have several 06s. My history with the gentleman with H&H just got thinking and made me go,  hmmmm.

The .300 Win mag will give you as much "thwack" as you'll need, for sure.  It's fun experimenting with new rifles and loads, anyway.  Good luck, and be safe.

I live on the west side of the state and rarely get a chance to shoot past 300 yards anymore. Most of my shooting is inside 100 yards so I think the TTSX's will work fine for me.

If I start shooting further distances I might check out those LRX's

What caliber is it now?

@ the OP what is the rifle chambered in now ?

What I was told by Barnes is that basically any 30 and under TTSX will expand at minimum 1800fps with the exception of the 168 gr which is 1500fps. That's why I went with them to be able to get reliable expansion at distance.. you'll enjoy doing load development for it. Best of luck
