Default RE: .300 ultra mag

ORIGINAL: bigcountry

I have had 3 of them. Got one when it firstcame out. I thought ammo was 30/box. But I reloaded for it. Great gun for those who will take the time to practice alot with it, at long range. Here's the bad part. By the time you master that badboy, you have came close to wearin it out. I had one built for me, and it shot sub0.5 MOA. I mean I was shooting some 5" groups at 500 yards. After about 500-600 rounds, I started getting heat cracks in the neck of the chamber.

My first one, I burnt out the barrel in 900 rounds. I now shoot a 300Win mag. I just needed more barrel life. Its not the gun for a beginner. One really has to know the basics of shooting to handle one. I think someone really needs to shoot alot to handle one. Recoil is right below brutal.



I should be okay with the barrel burnout since I don't think I've fired of that many rounds in my life.
