Nice post.
300 WM is a brilliant caliber.
 
Phil, I use H4831sc in my 300WM. 72.0 gr with a 180 Nosler Partition chronographs 2,867fps. Not fast, but accurate and a Partition doesn't seem to do well when pushed as fast as monolithics need to go.

I find that Barnes bullets are more accurate in all my guns when a long way off he lands, as in up to .070" (most so far).

Good luck!

If you don't mind using a pricier bullet, try 200gr North Forks with H4831SC. I get 2850fps I think it is, at least 2800fps. Or try it with the 180gr version and I'll bet you'll be pushing close to 3000fps. That would be a pretty devasting load on most PG I'd think.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
