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.

I had one and got rid of it.......my shoulder still hurts !!

kramer · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2011, 06:09:00 PM »

i put a muzzle break, trigger job on mine and it made the world of a difference. its louder than heck but, use earplugs when target practicing and your good to go. your buddies next to you when you shoot an animal will complain a little but your shoulder sure feels better.

Killmore · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2011, 06:55:08 PM »

krammer,,what muzzle break did you install and who did the work. Did you swap triggers are work over the factory one? Was yours a remington? Pick mine up tomarrow..

str8meat · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2011, 06:28:38 AM »

you might wanna look at matrix bullets. they have a vld in a 30 cal 210 gr. with a .752 bc that would turn your rum to a long range hammer. just wish they had a 250 gr. for my 338 rum. although the 225 gr. ab does just fine.

My 300 rum loves the 180 grain accubonds and have accounted for two elk, both complete pass through penetration at 150 and 395 yards.

I use 200 grain accubonds in my 300 ultra mag and it has worked really well. I don;t like the noise of a muzzle break so I put a bear trap in the stock of mine and it really cut the recoil down. The bear trap is a recoil reducer that is installed by removing the butt pad and putting it in the stock and epoxy it in place and putting the pad back on the advertizement says 40 per cent recoil reduction and I have them in several guns. You can look them up on the computer a lot of trap shooters have them in there guns.

Hey killmore, I had brett from armswerks here in bonney lake do my work he is awsome. He just re worked my trigger. I think he took it down to 2.5 pounds. Another thing I had him do was he custom makes the rail scope mount system that holds together good. I used to break the regular leupold rings. Even the dual dove tails. Haven't had one problem since o switched

200 grain accubonds are what my .300 RUM likes. Kicks like a mule because I don't use a muzzle brake or aftermarket recoil pad (limbsaver), but I can shoot around 40 shots before my arm falls off. Great North American game medicine tho!!!

I stopped shooting at 40 rounds because of the price. Darned expensive. I have enough brass saved up to start reloading this round, just have not gotten around to it....
