I seem to remember reading a post comparing the 300 Win Mag and the 338 Lapua. Something about using heavy cutting edge bullets in the 300 Win Mag being somewhat similar to the 250gr or 300gr bullets used in the 338 Lapua. However I cannot find the post or remember where it was, probably was a...

Would a 125gr Nosler AccuBond be equivalent to the 130gr Barnes XLC?

Thanks cape cove, what are some similar bullets to the .308 Barnes 130gr with a B.C. of .374. Or are there any? Regards, 375rifleman

Does anyone know what the minimum velocity for a .308 Barnes 130gr XLC Boatail to properly expand?

Ackley Improved 300 Winchester Magnum?

Nice setup, maybe not for reloading perhaps but still nice setup.

Would rechamering a 300 Winchester Magnum to a Ackley Improved 300 Winchester Magnum be worth it? I prefer to use heavier (190gr-230gr bullets).

Thanks Axl that could certainly work.

Looking for similar trajectory to the 338 Lapua if possible with a 6.5mm, 270, 7mm, or 30 caliber cartridge out of the TC Encore platform. Is this possible? This would be close to or greater than 3000fps muzzle velocity with a g1 bc of around .603 or greater g7 bc of around .310 or greater Does...

Muddyboots, I wasn't aware of any high bc .270 bullets and increased velocities which are a necessity for long (1000yrd and extreme 1500yrd ranges). However there may be some that I'm not aware of.

Would the 6.5 Sherman be a better option? Although I don't know if the 6.5 Sherman is any better than a 6.5 Remington Magnum, 6.5x284, or the 26 nosler.

Beeman you mentioned the 6.5 Sherman as a high speed 6.5mm cartridge option. Could the 6.5 Sherman be chambered in a TC Encore, I am unfamiliar with the 6.5 Sherman (parent case, pressure limits, etc.) I think that the 300 Winchester Magnum is at or near the top of what a TC Encore can handle. I...

Looking at cutting edge bullets I noticed their 140gr single feed Lazer with a bc of around .670 paired with a 264 Winchester could show some promise. But I don't know how it would ballistically compare to other magnum 7mm, 30 caliber, or 338 chamberings.

I was looking to make a longe range target and hunting TC Encore. While the 300 Winchester Magnum could be used. A 7mmX300 Winchester, or even a 264 Winchester Magnum might be other suitable options better or worse. I don't know if any of them would make for a legitimate long range (1000 yard+)...

Would a 300 Norma Magnum be possible in a TC Encore platform? I know that it would be pushing (actually stretching) the limits of this action. However from articles I've read it can almost match the 338 Lapua.
