Yeah, I have a Gaillard on my 264 and am looking forward to seeing what it will do. Many years ago my Dad had a PH in 30-06 that was very slow. Could almost see the 220 going through the air...lol

My 300 Wby likes 200 gr Nosler Partitions over RL22. I haven't tried the RL25 in it yet, but that powder really perked up my 7 STW so I have high hopes. I get 3000 fps with the RL22 so I don't expect any velocity advantage, but maybe a little more accuracy would be nice. - dan
Amazeing in speed or accuracy?

I like the 300 Wby. I load mine for best accuracy and shoot a 200g bullet at 2750 fps.
It's TOTALLY worth it!

Only 2750 fps?
Using H4350 and Magnum I had 165 TSXs moving a hair shy of 3150 out of a Kimber so chambered. Ramshot Magnum is one of the best powders I have used in a Magnum cartridge to date.
I would like to set a bunch of Magnum behind a 200gr Accubond in a 300 Weatherby one day. It will close on 3100fps I would bet.

I would like to find Magnum around here. Might have to order some.

I think he means you are running it pretty slow. Should be able to hit 3000 with the 200gr.

Tried this combo and got the velocity but not the acceptable accuracy.
Omenica Source for Sports. Ask for Mark; he's a little odd and he may hit on you, but he'll deliver.
Ahh. Thats too bad, sounds like a flubber rifle. Who built it? And what barrel? (pm if you ain't into publicly causing a #### storm).

Thanks for the heads up. Might stick to mail order though

That's pretty much the velocity I get with 200gr Accubonds in my .300H&H.
That is a deadly combination; excellent velocity with that bullet. No need for faster.
It is the 'Hammer-of-Thor' on the whitetails!
I had a P14 chambered to 300WM, I call it my 303 Winchester magnum. It is truly a fine rifle. I load 200 grain m/c bullets to about 2970 and can get 3150 out of 180's. It is of course a bit tougher to get good bullets for, at these velocities I would not trade for any other cartridge to either gain 100fps or knock a pound off the rifle weight.
So you had a 300 Mag Reamer run into the actual .311 barrel? Interesting. You should push some 215gr Weldcore outta that. They would expand into freaking umbrellas!
