I run the same bullet in a Kimber Super America 300 Win Mag. A compressed case full of RL 22 does nice things.

Should be called the .300 Swift ........wow over 4000fps! Would like to work out a load for my .308 Norma Magnum 1-12" twist..........no printed data available.

130gr TTSX BT@3800 fps mv higher bc higher down range energies compared to 110gr TSX FB@4100 fps mv.

Dam, thats some ###i looking Barnes loaded round there and some even ###ier numbers.
Makes me think my flavor of Wby ammo.
Numbers out to 350 show enough energy for large game and would be devastating to midsize and smaller game especially with those TSX bullets.
What rings and bases you running on the Sako ? (asking for a friend)

My load with 110 hornady gmx is going 3858 fps. Shot a buck at close range. Instant lights out. After examining the hit, it was clear that the gmx cannot take that amount of impact velocity. Water jug test revealed the Tsx bullet to be superior to the gmx if you encounter a shot under 200 yards.

Talk about big old jelly pie.. be the hydrostatic shock pattern is huge.. run my 257 bee ..100gr @ 3750.. and what a mess..

I'll be buying some of the lighter side with my 300wm.
Thx for sharing.
Your post are always a pleasure

• Leupold Sako ring mounts
• Speer #11 mentions some guy who hunts Cape Buffalo with 257 Wby

The opposite of eat up to the hole. Blood jello meat the diameter of the kitchen table.

I would worry that if you push to max, your going to have heat crackling/throat erosion much sooner than typical for a 300 mag.

I think I might have to look for some of those bullets for my 300 Win Mag as well. That velocity is pretty impressive.

Great velocity but I'd assume you would shed your pedals on those bullets at such velocities.

You're zeroed at 350 Yds?

POI +1"@100 yds = 250 yd zero up 1.5" = 350 yd zero.
