Big Bore FanSub-MOA with 168grs BTHP´s, from Sierra, Hornady or Speer. But I have same good results with normal soft point bullets. I mostly use Rottweil R904, but sometimes N160, MRP or IMR-4350.
My old Remington barrel liked nearly all bullet weights between 150grs and 220grs but not the Berger VLD´s. My new Lothar Walter barrel isn´t really enough tested. But shoots very good with the 168grs bullets.

snowmanWill you haven't mentioned what weight of bullet you want to shoot. There are a number of powders that will shoot very well. I have found that 72 or 73 grs of IMR 4831 behind a 180 gr bullet has delivered good groups in any 300 Win I've worked with. Start at 69 or 70 grs and work up carefully. Hope that helps

graybirdI'm currently shooting 180 gr Barnes TSX bullets using IMR7828. Speed is slow at only 2815 fps, but I took 9 animals with it from 30 yards out to 271 yards last year with every shot a pass thru. Only two animals required a second shot.

gerrybi am just starting a load for my 300 with 180 gain north forks. I measured COAL with stony point and basically the bullet is falling out of the case. I am not sure how far in to seat them but I seated them until bands are gone and i am trying rl 22. any body ever shoot 180 north forks. It shoots 180tsx with rll 22 75 grains but not sure on these north forks

chainAny reasonably accurate 300 win will shot a quality 180 gr bullet well with 75-75.5 gr RE-22. In my 300 win w/Benchmark barrel 26" I shoot 208 A max's with 75.6 gr H-1000 and 210 Berger VLD's with 76 gr H-1000 both loads .5" or less, the Bergers do very well in the wind, elk hate them however.

My Encore with a 28 inch Pro Hunter barrel really likes this load.

GAHUNTERI've taken my .300 Winnie to Africa twice and killed everything I shot at with 76 grains of Re. 22 and a 180-grain Nosler Partitions. This load gives me 3060 fps and MOA accuracy out of my tuned-up Model 700.
My rifle is pretty persnickety on what it likes to shoot, and I am just lucky I stumbled on to this load/bullet combo.
