I was invited to shoot with f class buddies at a range to 1680 yds for fun at steel buffalo (1280 and 1680). 300 Weatherby Mag Accumark rifle is only rifle that I have that will reach 1680. Illinois elevation 600 ft. I shoot f class to 1000yds with Barnard 308 win rifle. Buddy built 300 PRC rifle for 240gr bergers and A tips to have fun at 1680. I have no intention to build a dedicated rifle.
I have 208 gr amax bullets (500), 200 gr Berger hybrids (48), and Berger 175 vlds (100).
300 wea mag Accumark Rifle chamber info :
208 gr amax 4.0285" base to lands coal
3.7385" bullet seated at shoulder junction
200 gr hybrid 4.06" base to lands coal
3.7985" bullet seated at shoulder junction
175 gr vld. 4.0025" bullet to lands coal
3.6835" base to shoulder junction
powders on hand IMR4350, RL17, H4831SC
primers CCI 250 Magnum
thanks for your help. Will test loads at 300 yds. Recommended jump?
Scope base is 20moa picatinny rail. Scope rings are Burris XTR Signature rings so can do 40 Moa with rings. Scope is a Sightron S Tac 2.5x17.5x56mm so it has 80moa elevation. I don't believe elevation will be an issue. Nosler had 210 gr Accubond LR showing IMR4350 as most accurate powder tested. 72gr max @ 2920fps; 70gr @ 2833fps. Sierra accuracy load for 210 gr hpbt was with US869 @ 97.9 gr @ 2900fps. Berger manual has 210vld showing IMR4350 and H4831SC. We are shooting 5-6 rounds then next guy is up so barrels don't heat up since they are not target wt barrels.
Any one able to email/PM me pic or pdf of Hornady Reloading Manual page for 300 Weatherby 208 AMAX. Don't know any place selling US869 locally. Cabelas might have H1000 or Retumbo.
Thank you for all replies.
