300 RUM ammo

for those of you that have a 300 RUM what factory ammo do you use? I just got a Remington XCR II in 300 RUM and picked up a box of Federal 180 grain trophy tips and a box of Nosler Custom ammo 180 Accubonds.I want to get a box of the Barnes Vortex ammo and try them but cant find any

You may have to order what you want online somewhere. Try midsouthshootersupply.com, midwayusa.com, cabelas, to name a few. I've never used factory ammo in mine.

You can also purchase loaded ammo directly from Barnes.

I reload my 300 RUM AMMO. If I were you I would
just make sure you buy the right ammo and once
I found the right ammo then I would only shoot
that ammo.

There were some super deals recently at the nosler "seconds" and over run area of their web site.

The seconds were only cosmetic blemishes and the over runs were just that.

Prices were 25-40% of normal retail.

Check out their web site for them.

Good luck.

I don't shoot any barns bullets. Because they put alot of copper in my barrel.

For Africa I use the Remington Ammo with the Swift 200 gr. A-Frame. I shoot a Win. Model 70 Gen II. We had to cut 2" off the Barrel and re-bed, but now it is my main plains game rifle.

Yes Midway has loaded ammo. But I reload so I just need the bullets. They have both.

The most accurate factory ammo I've found for the 300 RUM is the 150gr Remintion Premier Scirocco Bonded. 5 shot groups under .75 MOA out of a Reminton Sendero.

after a trip to the rifle range this weekend the Federal 180 Trophy tips were the most accurate out of my rifle but local gun shop dont have anymore and I cant find them on line anywhere so I might have to try Federal 200 grain nosler partitions
