ideal 300 magnum
Posted on 5/20/16 at 10:41 am
Posted on 5/20/16 at 10:41 am
I have been shooting 338 for a while now, but I do not have a 300 magnum cartridge. I am considering the 300 RUM, 300 Win Mag, 30-378, or taking the wild cat route. What do the 300 shooters on here like? I want this for a NM antelope rifle.
I have also thought about developing my own wildcat 300, but I have a lot to learn there. I wanted to take a 408 CheyTac case or 416 Barrett case and neck it down to a .30.

You do a thread like this every couple of months. Just stop.

All that sounds like a huge PITA.
And I can't trust a man with a foot fetish.

If you're shooting super long distance for antelope, I get it. I own a 30-378 that I bought mostly for sheep hunting. Instead of the 174 grain bullets commonly used, I experimented until settling for a 150 grain Nosler Accubond. It's still too much rifle for sheep as it would be for speed goats, but I don't worry a bit about 600-1500 yard shots.
The only real downside is lugging that magnum length barrel through underbrush and up mountains.

Is .300 Weatherby off the table? I have no rational reason, but I love Weatherby.

What would be the bullet rise when it leaves the muzzle on a round like that?
And for the record your mechanic or machinist or gunsmith is not the person to ask about the plausibility of developing a rifle cartridge and doesn't give credibility to the idea. How many rounds has your gunsmith developed? Hell, how many rounds has he shot in the past month. Probably 0, because he fixes guns all day every day. The gunsmith at Jim's put someone's gas tube on their AR in upside down making it a single shot. He'd probably think it was a great idea too.
"the girl who made my banana split at Baskin Robins told me that'd be a killer round and it would totally work."

For what? Your barrel would last 25 shots. There's a reason this stuff doesn't exist

You targeting Rhino or Cape Buffalo?

I've seen the CheyTac 408 successfully necked down in the 300s but most wildcatters have stayed around the 338-375 range. Even CheyTac has their own 375. I wonder how both cases mentioned would handle the stretching if necked down.
