A friend and I were talking last night and this cartridge came up. What do you think the ballistics of this cartridge will be? We were concerned with 100, and 117-120 gr bullets.
I am thinking 3400-3500 fps with the 100 gr and 3300 with the 120's? Am I off by far?

I've got one, built it right after winnie released 300 wsm drawings.

Shoots right there with 257 weatherby.. I can share loads

I would be really interested to hear accuracy/ velocity and loads. Also what setup do you have? How long is the barrel etc?

Thanx

Pop,
I'll share this with you, in email. 25" barrel, springfield action, thumbhole lam stock.

THANX

Any other inputs?

I have one built on a Ruger #1 action with a 28" barrel. Mine shot 5 three shot groups that averaged .4" at 100 yards with a 115Gr. Nosler BT seated over 61 Grains of RL-25 and a Fed. 215 primer. I get right around 3300FPS over my chronograph. I like the first load so much, I haven't really messed with anything else.

Of all of the short mags, this is the one I would probably be interested in.
