.270 Win. H4350 and a 130 Accubond, stuffed several mule deer in the sage with the combo. I use the same combination in the .270 WSM. Here are some 300 yard groups with the combo.I would take the 06 over a .308 every time and a .300 Win mag over the two if it were a option. You can load the .300 down to 06 velocities but you can't load the 06 up. .300 Win Mag. RL-22 and a 165 Ballistic tip for plinking, coyotes and Rockchucks. I run the same load with 165gr Nosler Accubonds for big game, they shoot same point of impact. I like the 165's because you get more speed (Flatter shooting) than the 180's and every deer I have shot with the 165's was dead on the spot as with the 180's. Here are some groups with RL-22 and the 165's.The .300 Win Mag is a cartridgenthat likes to be pushed , it performs best at it's upper velocities. It is a very forgiving cartridge to load for. It's hard to get loads that won't shoot in a quality rifle. It likes being loaded into the lands, just kissing them and will shoot just as well with 40 thou plus jump. It's a great cartridge, one of my favorites as is the .375 H&H and the 7x57. The target bellow was shot at 400 yards from the prone, with a 300 yards zero. I was checking my real world drop from my 300 yard zero at 400 yards. It was spot on with my ExBall ballistics program. My aiming point was center of the orange. There was a slight right to left breeze but not enough to matter if I was shooting at a deer, so I didn't add any wind dope on the scope.I'm liking those CCI 250 more and more over the Federal 215 matches everyday and I've been pretty much shooting the 215's exclusively in my magnums for 15 or so years.
In the 270 I perfer IMR-4831 for all my handloads. The 140 BT and AB at 2990 with remmy brass and cci-200 primers remains my favorite combo. For the 300 mag I,ve had excellent results with H-4831 and either the 180 PT or gameking. Been playing with 180 AB,s lately. There definitly accurate in my 700 BDL. I,d perfer an 06 to a 308 as well. I like the 06 pushing 200 grain PT,s along around 2600. Good load.
