Thanks. I appreciate your replies. I'm looking forward to loading these bullets. Moose

Has anyone tried these bullets in a 300 mag? I have always shot 200 gr bullets in my 300 ICL...usually Nosler Partitions and lately the Accubonds. I've had good results with both but the world is changing and copper seems to be the choice over lead, at least out here in California. I just...

Nice looking buck ! No doubt, he will look good on the wall ! Moose:)

Forget my last post. I checked and they are back ordered. You might try the new 200 gr. Tipped TSX's from Barnes. They are supposed to be great. I found them at Midsouth Shooters Supply on line or from Barnes' web site. Moose

Try Graf and Sons or Midsouth Shooters Supply for the 200 gr Accubonds. I just bought 100 at the Bass Pro Shop (Manteca Ca) and they may have them online. Moose

I think Colorado is the best bet. Yes, the orange sucks but you have the best odds of taking home a trophy buck. There are many areas you can draw with no points or on your second choice. Getting your second choice will save your point. Also, try to limit your group size to around four, it will...

Thank you guys for the welcome. Glad to be here. Moose:)

Great buck Marlon ! You really earned this one....doing it the hard way ! Moose

Hello. I have been a shooter and hunter most of my life. My Dad would take us out of state hunting every fall...usually to Montana or Idaho. I was raised a to be a elk hunter but after taking my first big Mule deer I became hooked on Mule deer hunting and now consider myself to be a "Mule deer...

Gonewest: in my gun I'm getting 3125 fps with that 59.5 gr. H4831 and 130 gr. Accubonds. My wife's gun (exactly like mine) gets 3175 fps. Go figure....guess that proves not all chambers are the same dimensions. My supply of the old H4831 went bad around 10 years ago. I had a 8 lb. "paper"...

About those 60 gr4831 loads: Back in O'Conner's day, most 4831 was surplus from WW2. The newer stuff we buy now may be slightly hotter...not much... think fresher? Anyway, 60 grs. is a Max load. I have no problems with 59.5 grs. H4831. This is a very accurate load in my Rem. 700 with 130 br...

If you are still in need of 300 ICL Grizzly reloading advise, I may be able to help. I know there is not much out there for that caliber but I've had mine for about 35 years and it is my favorite rifle. I know of two other rifles that see use every year out in the field also. My Dad has one and...
