What grain bullet?

Kbeaner · 04-04-2007, 04:23 AM

I bought a .300 Rem SAUM last year and couldn't get the group I was looking for. I am saving up to buy anew Leaupold to puton top so that I can take the scope factor out. Im going to reload and just not sure which grain bullet to go with. Any thoughts or comments on this round? thanks.

Try premium bullets in 165 to 180 gr range,working up carefully and you should find a load or 2 that has more than enough accuracy.

I would use the 180 Nosler Partition in that rifle for all hunting opportunity's.

The 165-grain bullet is a good choice for all-round use in .30-caliber rifles. It combines almost the MV of the 150-grain, giving it a flat trajectory, with the penetrating capabiliuties of the 180-grain for use on larger game, such as elk and moose. I would use the 165-grain Nosler Partition or Barnes TSX bullets in that rifle.....
