300 rum info

[CementFinisher]

So from my experience i have had good results from my ammo, but have been told by what seemed to be a knowledgeable person that my round would not hold together or would destabilize due to its velocity and weight. your input would be great. 180gr Nosler Accubond 3325fps. Shooting a rem 700 26in barrel

I don't own a 300rum, but if I did I would use a 200gr. Accubond or Partition bullet. Higher BC with a 200gr. to go with the velocity would make a good combonation.

I shoot the same rifle. Been using the Scirroco 180's and they are wickedly accurate and hold together fine. How has your accuracy held at let's say 300 yards?

at 400 around 2in group from a bench rest. uasually 4 or 5 shot groups

I have to agree with ICEMAN, I shoot the 180 Scirroco's and nothing else. My gun has had nothing but these bullets shot through it, probably 300 rounds in 6 years...  They hold up well and have brought down 3 elk and 7 deer like a freight train hit them head on...

Not a long distance shooter but 500yds with be fairly easy with this set up... Longest shot with mine to date was 430 yds give or take on a 4 point rosie elk.

Your right on the money, do the guy a favor that told you that and purchase him a current reloading manual (Preferable Nosler's latest  ) Excellent bullet choice, excellent cartridge, I like Reloader 25 and Retumbo in mine. I run Accubonds in all my big game rifles.


This is a 260gr Accubond a recovered from a mature Eastern WA  Mulie I shot at 560 yards with a .375 Remington Ultra Magnum.

Thanks guys

I shoot 180 swift scirrocos. They are the best shooting out of my gun.even tried reloading them and I couldn't tell a difference in those or the factory boxes of scirrocos. Other than price. Killed bears, deer and elk and the bullet performed awsome.

They are a great bullet and will hold together great

I should have went with the .300 RUM rather than the WSM. . . It will be my next rifle, probably shooting 200 grain Accubonds!

3325 is very believable. I shoot 3350 out of one of mine with 180s. I switched to Bergers for their long range accuracy and performance. Swift Scirroco's are a great bullet also.
