Barnes 175 LRX in 300 Win Mag with H1000?

[Samuel_284win]

Has anyone used the Barnes 175 LRX paired with H1000 powder out of a 300 Win Mag?
Thank you

Samuel,

I'm getting ready to test some Barnes 165 TTSX with VV N-550 in my brothers 300 WM. He wanted a copper bullet for shooting out west. The VV N-550 works great with Sierra 165 GameKings in several rifles. A buddy shot a large pig with one, he said the pigs front end was lifted up off the ground. 150-200 lb. pig.

I'd think you would want a faster powder in the cold weather. I should be able to test the load in a couple of weeks.

HTH,
DocBII

I've used RL-17 with good results.

RL-26 with the 175 Barnes LRX in my 24" barrel 300 Win mag, 3225 ft/sec and 5/8 MOA. Great combo.

What powder charge of RL-26 are you using?

I shoot H-1000 with 180 Accubonds in a .300 Winch. Even in cold weather. That combo works great. Kills ELK! 80 grs with a 215 Mag primer

What powder charge of RL-26 are you using?

I worked up to 78 grs but seen pressure there so I backed off to 76.5. Max in my rifle with the vel and accuracy I posted. Other rifles will be different as to what the max load could be so I would advise to start low and work up.

Start at 79.0gr of H1000 and work up to 81.0gr.
I bet 80.5gr is the winner. I've had many 300wm barrels shoot best with 80.5 and 180gr bullets.

It seems like H1000 isn't used as much as it once was for 300 WM. I'm about to start load development with H1000 and the 181 Hammer Hunters. Surprisingly enough, the load I'm replacing it with is 76.5gr RL26 and the 175 LRX. Alliant powder is just too hard to replace right now

Probably because H1000 has had low availability.
