Remington 300 Ultra Mag
« on: January 26, 2011, 04:48:32 PM »
Which rifle manufactures and models work best with this cartridge?
I know there are not a lot of choices yet.
165 or 180 grain?
Any powder recommendations?
Thanks

One of the Rem 700's, a BDL if your going to pack it much or a Sendero if weight isn't a problem.
That big cartridge shines with 200's.

I shoot the sendero and it is amazing with 208's, but I also load 180 accubonds for my buddies RUM and it also drives tacks. The 180 load is hot moving just over 3600 :yike: So far my gun is accurate out to 1250 yards with me shooting it

Great Caliber.... I have a Remington Sendero that shoots excellent. As someone mentioned it is heavier to carry.

Most bullets today will get the job done.

I like the Barnes bullets, you can shoot a 165 Barnes Tipped Triple Shock faster and flatter with less recoil and get more penetration than most all other bullets of heavier weight. Out of dozens of animals shot with Barnes, we are yet to recover a bullet. They go through shoulder bone and everything. If needed it's much easier to track an animal with an exit hole.

Like any bullet, you need to shoot it out of your gun, not all bullets work in all guns. I have a 300 WTBY that shoots Rem Corelocks better than anything, it will not group Barnes or any other boattail worth a darn. :twocents:

this is the only decent pics I have of ole' scope eater. I suggest at least 8 lbs. for a rum. The stainless/ mc stocked one is much friendlier to scopes.

Nice rifles! High Country, my Uncle has had that same stock on one of his rifles for a long time. I like it!

Seriously, 3600fps with a 180gr pill?  That is smoking HOT!

Before I buy, I am going to take a look at the Browning. I am a fan of glass bedded barrels.
I am going to have sticker shock over the dies for reloading. Also, the powder is different along with the primers.

I was curious about trying to work up to the load you are referring to, would you mind sharing your recipe for this load? THANKS
