Title: X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Long Range .300 win question
Post by: RightPlace-RightTime on August 19, 2019, 08:20:08 PM: Made the decision to buy this gun and top it with a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50

How everyone likes the gun in this caliber?

Better question is what grain bullet is everyone using for best performance in groups, accuracy,and yardage?
Mine will be used for deer/elk.

Looking for recommendations for store bought as of now before I start to reload.

Not to heavy/not to light?

Post by: Timberstalker on August 19, 2019, 09:14:21 PM: I’d start with 190’s and work from there.

Post by: GoldenOscar on August 19, 2019, 10:15:15 PM: I have the Hells Canyon Speed in 300 and my most accurate load so far is 75 gr of H4831 & 180 Accubonds.

Post by: jeffro on August 20, 2019, 03:14:28 AM: I use 180g nosler partitions and I’m good to 800 yds +
Hand loads, would have to dig out my notes for powder and load data
But I’m right in the middle of moving and all that stuff is packed up and buried.

Post by: spoonman on August 20, 2019, 06:18:39 AM: I’m shooting factory loaded 215 grain Berger hybrids. I shoot factory ammo and had a hard time finding one that my xbolt would shoot moa. The Berger 215’s are giving me consistent 1/2 moa groups.
