loading for tikka 300 winmag

[montana]

What are you shooting as in bullets and loads. Moose and Bear under 200yds is what I'm interested in.

Hey Montanna i load the 200gr accubond for my 300wm. Shoots good and hits hard. Only thing I don't like about the accubond is that it is a little long for my action would like to seat it closer to the lands. i would also recommend Hornady interbonds, nosler partion golds if you can find them in 180gr and NPs , failsafes in 165gr and the barnes triple shocks in 168gr & 180. As for powders I have used IMR 4831, 4350, Hodgens H-1000. Best results were with IMR 4831. There are probably better powders out there and for sure way more people with experience that will add to your post. Welcome to handloading, have fun

I load Sierra 220 gr. roundnoses for my "big bullet" load

70 grains of IMR4831 (Rem cases, WLR primer) and get almost 2800 fps out of my 24" Savage. I'm not sure what the OAL is (I'm 800 km away from my loading records), but it is seated to just fit the magazine.This is a max load, work up to it carefully!

Consistantly gives less than 1" @ 100 yds. Best has been .290" 3 shot group.
Loaned the rifle to a friend for his bear hunt last spring, he got his bear at 260 yds through the shoulders and no bullet recovered. Bang-flop!

With my Sako m75SS 300Wm, the load for my rifle is 74.0gr of RL-22 (max. is 76.0 but my rifle didnt like it over 75.0) using Federal 215Mag Primers and 180gr Accubonds using Winchester brass for load developement and Winchester Supreme nickel brass for hunting loads. Shoots well under 3/8" 5-shot groups @ 100m

Use this load for all my big game - moose, elk, deer, bear.

Most 300WM will shoot really good groups with RL22 and 180gr bullets.
My T3 hunter liked 73.5gr and 180grAB,my 700 BDLSS liked 74gr and 180grAB.
My buddies tikka M65 likes 75.5gr and 180grAB all with WW brass and 215M primers.
Start at about 73gr and work up,my tikka T3 was long throated so I was limited to seating the bullets to fit the magazine.I was .20-.22 off the land and still shot well under MOA groups.RB

My favorite is the Sierra 200gr. spbt and either H1000 or the H4831sc isnt looking to bad. Hornady has just come out with a 208gr. A-Max. Gotta get my hands on some of them and give em a try.
