Title: .300 A-bolt reloads??
Post by: MAGhunter on February 11, 2010, 09:46:06 AM: Anybody have a good reload they would like to share. I have a Browning .300 A-bolt stalker, standard, with no upgrades and no boss. I am interested in starting to reload and would like to know what works great. I normally shoot the Federal Vital Shok 180 gr, either nosler partition, or Federal Vital Shok 180 gr, trophy bonded tips. Both of them work great.

RL22 powder showed better velocity, but I got the best accuracy with H1000 in my rifle and H1000 is not temp sensitive like the Reloader powders, so I went with H1000.

Post by: Curly on February 11, 2010, 10:51:06 AM: I like Winchester Large Rifle Primers, but I've also used CCI magnum rifle primers with good results.

Post by: C-Money on February 12, 2010, 09:09:03 AM: Look at RL-19, RL-22, H1000, and IMR 4831. I use CCI mag primers. Good luck, and let us know what you find works best!

Post by: GoldTip on February 12, 2010, 09:36:17 AM: I use 70.5gr of RL19 and CCI mag rifle primers behind 180gr Swift Scirrocco's outta my Ruger all weather in 300 win mag. Thats very close to max load with RL19 I believe so check for pressure signs in your gun before loading that high.
