What velocity are you getting from your 300 Win Mag with 180 grain bullets? I'm thinking of switching calibers and want to shoot 180 Nos AB's from a 26" barrel.

I am slower than most guys due to a short barrel ( mine is 22") But I am getting in the mid 2900's with 180 SGK and IMR 4831 and around 3050 with 180 Accubonds and 75.5 gr of RL 22.


Windage and elevation, Mrs. Langdon, windage and elevation...

With a 26" barrel 3150 is a reasonable velocity to expect.

Based on reloading for 7 different 300 win mags (all with 24" barrels), I would say that you could work up to between 3100 fps to 3200 fps without pressure signs.

With my 300 WM in a rem 24" tube shooting 180 nosler BTs and Accbonds with 75.5gr RL22 I get from 3000 - 3100 which is about what you can expect with a bullet of this weight.

My last 300 win was a 26" mod 70 and would shoot 180's at 3150.

I shoot the 180gr Hornady atop 76.0gr of RL-22 and average close to 3050fps from a 24" barrel.

I'm shooting a Browning Stainless Stalker with a 26" barrel. I shoot 180 grain Nosler Accubonds over 76.0 grains of RL22. I am getting an average of 3,184 fps.

I have shot 180 grain Scirocco's and 180 grain Partitions over IMR 4831, both for about 3,160 fps.

I have also shot 200 grain Accubonds over H1000 for 3,000 fps.

In my experience, 3,100 out of a 24" tube or 3,150 out of a 26" tube, with proper powders should be attainable.
