Anybody tried these in the 300 win ? Thinking of trying them out in a new rifle maybe try reloaded 26 anyone have data ?

Cheers Tony

For long range the 300 wants more bullet. 190-210gr. 178 would work, but with that case there are better bullets.

Yeah I’ve been using the 210 accubond in a couple of other 30 cal mags and they are fine just looking to try something a little different

Try the 225 eldm, or if you need a bulled that is specifically marketed for hunting (because we all know only those will kill game) 200+gr eldx. Leave the light stuff for 308/30-06
