180 grain nosler accubond and the 300 weatherby (7 posts)

Hey all. Just got a 300 weatherby for christmas. I got my dies and Federal 215M primers as well as 180grain Nosler Accubond bullets. My brass is on back order at the moment. I have 1lb of RL22 and 1lb of H1000. Nosler website gives the charge weight for this combination but not the COL. Can anyone give me the COL of this combination and has anyone ...

    I've found that the 30/30 leverevolution bullets loaded with 72g of H4831 work great in my 300.
    When I say work great I mean 5 shots at .379 to .5 all day at 100yds.
    BUT I've been told DO NOT HUNT WITH THEM.
    They don't hold up on impact at over 3000fps.
    The 150 game kings work very well loaded with 76g of H4831....

        Why the census? (4 posts)

           
           Why am I doing this census post thing?  Maybe not why you think.  Getting answers to the questions could be fun and all that, but that's not the only reason I am doing it.  I know you have noticed how almost all of the posts are by the same handful of people.  Maybe a couple of doze...

        Roger; Did you also have the herd of farm cats that always came from nowhere when you walked toward the barn with any kind of long pole. If I walked in the direction of the barn with my fishing pole, ay least 20 cats would suddenly appear waiting for me to smack the rafters with that pole. The rats would scurry around and fall off and it was a fur ...

           In reading some of the profiles for WeatherbyNation members, I have run across comments about how some members never have begun to reload.  Some think it is too technical, or a headache, or dangerous, or expensive, I suppose.  It can be all those things but it does not have to be.  I can understand not wanting to sp...

        Jim :  I agree if you know what you are looking for there are some really good deals out there.  I still use a 60 + year heavy old RF Wells press with the old screw in shell holders that I had converted to universal.  Keep it lubed I don't think you could wear it out in 200 years.   Ron

        What does everyone really do for a living? (320 posts)

        I know that most of us would say we hunt or would like to hunt more then we work, but we have to have the income to fuel our passion, so I pose the question, what do you do for a living.

        I will go first,  Marketing.

            trisurvivior, the factory trigger on the German Mark V was ok but not near as good as the timney trigger.  Plus, mine was not a good one at all so I changed.
