300 ULTRA MAG HELP

(1/1)

mt.perchman:
Hey all im looking to start reloading for my 300 ultramags .
I have been using 180 gr. Corelocks in two of my guns but just picked up a new Sendero .
Im hopeing to hit the 1000yrd mark. I topped it off with talley rings and a Leupold 6x20 x50.
Guess im thinking  210 - 230 grain .bullet ....any thought out there?

Green Mountian Hunter:
I'd say the 230's ,  They'd give you a lot more punch at that yardage ;  The litter Bullet won't have the wallop  out there
and you won't get no where near the side drift as the litter bullet will      Good luck

mt.perchman:
Thanks !!! Now the trick to find 230 grain .looks like localy i can get 200 nostler and 208 a max and 210 nostler .. I have some time before spring bear season . Thanks again.

Anybody looking shoot a ultra ? We have three of them , my wife shoots one with a 3.5 x 10x 50 leupold ...silver she shoots 180 gr. Core- lokt ultra bonded psp ..power level lll. There is no tracking involved !!!' Her best shot is 431 on a 5x5 muley ....dropped
The other one is topped with a 4.5 x 14 x 50 leupold matt . I tryed some 200 gr.A frame last year ....no kills with new setup...this one is my sons now he takes hunter saftey this weekend....he is 6'4  233 pds. Size 14 shoe ...just turned 16..
The new rifle is our next project ...looking for my son and i to try some long range this year. If he likes the sendero im sure there will be a new addition to the collection.

Just hope to have some feed back from you guys ...any longrange shooters out there..

Thanks  mt.perchman
