Tagging....will be doing the same here shortly.   :tup:

Was thinking H1000 pushing 210 grain Berger VLD hunting, 210 grain accubond lr or 200 grain accubond.  The Berger and Accubond LR will depend on COAL and whether or not I can fit it in the gun I purchase.

If mine I would try H-1000, 215 M primer and a 215 Berger.  Test for max press at .010 jump.  74-78 gr. Back off a grain and test 3 shot groups at jump at .020, .040, .080, .120 then fine tune jump then circle back to powder at .3 gr tests.

If your limited with your mag length, I know the eldx 200 grain bullets will tolerate some jump.  H1000 and rl26 is what I would use for powder. Cci 250 or fed215 primers.  And don’t buy Hornady brass.  Rws or Norma is what I would buy.

I still think you should buy my bare gun for tour project. You can paint it shiny for your likings.

I've always wanted to try the Berger's and the day I'm about to pull the trigger on them, I'll come across another random post about them failing so I back down. I've shot plenty with the amax and they kill perfectly and turn the innards into liquid but I'm wanting an exit hole for the next few animals and just itching to tinker.

All the more reason to buy or make a gun that doesn’t have mag length restrictions if you want the most out of the 200+ grain bullets.

So not all magnum actions will take large caliber bullets? I don’t quite understand this.

It has to do with the optimum seating depth of the bullet and if it will fit in the magazine of the rifle. It is pretty easy to seat a VLD bullet longer than will feed in most rifles.

Got it, thanks.

Speed makes up for mass when it comes to the .300 Win Mag out to 500 yards or so. Shoot a 165gr Accubond.

What powder would be recommended for sub 200 gr bullets?  Say the 190 accubondLR or the 178 eld-x?

H1000. RL22 also is a solid choice.

I like RL-22, it will give you the velocity.
