Is any body reloading these bullets in a 300 win mag
And are they good for hunting

Which bullet? and hunting what? The only one I'm aware of in 220gr is the Scenar-L which is a match bullet.

Apparently as ideal as FMJ...

Its is with the Scenar-L 220 gr bullets, want to use them on Elk and moose. Trying to decide to go with these or the Berger 215's in 30 cal.

I am going through this same situation with the 167 Scenars, some people use them for hunting some dont. NO the Scenars were not designed for hunting, the Mega and Naturalis were designed for hunting. However in speaking with a Lapua Engineer he again reiterated that some people do with success and some dont use them. His explanation was that, although not designed for hunting the jacket of the Scenars peels back and shrapnel's causing a large wound channel and could result in lots of lost meat depending on shot placement. I know that the Mega preforms very well on Moose though.
