Did some shooting with my 300 ultra this weekend across my chrono. Some test loads all using RL 25.

My rifle is a stainless Model 70. It shoots all the loads under an inch. Rifle likes RL 25!
All data was at about 70F.

168 TTSX @ 3465 FPS
180 NP @ 3385 FPS
180 Accubond @ 3360 FPS
200 NP @ 3212 FPS.
Have had some issue finding some 200 accbonds and was told they shipped but did not arrive to load prior to my testing.
Was surprised at the accuracy of the NP's.
Taking this rifle on a Alberta whitetail hunt this Fall.
A little concerned about the 180 Accubonds @ 3360 FPS. Has been my long range Texas whitetail load.
It does make a mess of everything you shoot with it. The Deer up north are a little larger than our Texas variety.

Interesting. Those loads are sizzling. In my experience any of those will flatten a whitetail. Even the biggest white tails.

Thanks for the data too.

I haven't been loading shooting mine yet. First there is rain.

And then there is the part where I want to get my 300 Weatherby Model 70 restocked from its original stock to maybe a McMilan (maybe the Supergrade?) or even a Echols Legend.

But I prefer the stocks with a smaller grip and wrist and the stocks seem to still be on long lead times. To have Hill Country Rifle do the work would likely be 8-9 months. So I haven't got primed to go test bullets.

If any one wants to add in on the stock(s) please do.

Thanks.
