Powder for 125gr bullets in 300win mag?

[walley2960]

Has any one had good results with 125gr bullets. I have a 24" barrel 300win mag. Looking for velocity. I don't mind doing load work for accuracy. Just hoping someone has experience with these light bullets.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Wally

H4350!

I used to shoot 130 gr. Barnes TTSX at 3,530 fps from a 26" barrel 300 Win Mag. GM215 primers.

The Sierra manual list as a suggested accuracy load with their 125 gr in the 300 Win mag as 64.0 grs IMR 4895 for 3300 fps and they suggest 76.8 grs IMR 4350 as a hunting load for 3500 fps.

Thank you for for input. I will start with one of the 4350 powders.

I shot the 135 smks with a few powders but the excessive spin drift from a 1:10 & the Oklahoma wind were deal breakers for me. I did it just for fun and it was a lot of fun. Felt like a laser rifle and didn't rattle my brain like the 230 grainers we call bananas (because they blow up on gongs like a banana???. Idk ;D), but the groups at 500 were not the kind you take home to mom.

is this for a point blank hunting style?

Yes just thought I would go for max point blank range. Old project refreshed
