Can I use these bullets when reloading for .300 H&H ?

[Garrett89]

I've acquired several brands of bullets for a project rifle that has yet to be finished but was wondering if they would be correct for use in the .300 H&H cartridge since they're all .308 caliber? Some are marked .300 win mag and .30-06 Springfield and the Midway boxes are marked #65D. All wisdom is welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

No. They must be specific to 300H&H. I'll be glad to take them off your hands though.










Just kidding. All those will work just fine.

 

[Rob404]

Those are all CRAP you better send them to me for proper disposal,

Total garbage for 300 HH, especially the sciroccos , send them off to me I have special Machinery dispose of them correctly........


Aughhhhh man nice acquisition Pure gold . The only way to find out how good they work for you in the 300 HH shoot them.

Looks like you’re set up nicely for fodder

Wow, you're rich! And it's not fair I tell ya!

Yep, all those bullets you posted are suitable for use in the 30 caliber magnums like 300 H&H, not to mention a good number of other 30 caliber cartridges like 30-06 and 308 Winchester.

Consider the difference between a 30’06 at 100 yards, a 300 H&H at 150 yards, and a 300 Win Mag at 200 yards. Therein lies the “difference”.

Are you asking or bragging of your bulk of gold you got?
They will work in the 300 H&H and you have enough to use the 300 H&H in various topography.
Lighter faster bullets for distances 200 meters and more and heavies that will work brilliant on eland in thick Mopane bush.

If you are going to hunt with the Woodleigh bullets keep to the recommended impact velocities.

@Garrett89
Mate there all useless no good for anything.
Seriously tho you have scored well and got a lot of fantastic projectiles for your 300H&H.
You will have a lot of people envious of your collection. You have enough there to keep you hunting and practising for a long time.

@Frederick
I have pushed the Woodleigh to 200fps over recommended velocities with zero issues. As you said keep within impact velocity and fine. Game isn't shot at the muzzle very often. Even impacting 100fps over recommended doesn't hurt penetration or expansion of the Woodleigh. That's speaking from experience with 35 cal and 130gr 308 on game.

Bob I only have experience with the .375 Woodleighs that I have used and switched to the HD 300gr bullet and it worked like a charm. But I have heard many complain then I asked what velocity and then explain to them that is why the impact is on the box.

Going off topic a bit but had a client in the year 2000 who used the Original Barnes X bullets in 300RUM and they failed. Impact velocity was too high that i what he was told fater the trip and chatted to them. Then the tipped TSX bullets saw the light of day.

@Frederick
Speaking with Geoff McDonald he said it's not the speed you launch them at but the speed you hit them at.
My 35Whelen sends the 225gn PPSP Woodleigh out at 2,900+ fps. At 120 yards it is slightly higher than Geoff's recommended impact velocity but it was beautiful performance even after smashing thru bone
