245 grain Berger in 300 Win Mag.

That was my hope.
Berger gave velocities (quickload) that topped out at 2745 or so with 87.7 gr. I am above that with 83.5gr N570, but ADG brass doesn't like to operate much higher. Concerned going any higher will trash the brass early. Primer pockets are a little loose on some of them already on two firings.
 
26" barrel?
Yes you bet it is 26".
I know 2808 fps Doesn't sound that impressive to a lot of people but this thing is a hammer a long ways out there.
I've had it to 2000 yards with ease.
I reached almost 2900 fps but it opened up
Groups. The sweet spot was from 2700-2830 fps in this 1-8 twist prc.
 
My last 300 WM did 2956 FPS with a 215 Berger. Was hard on brass though. Probably wouldn't run it that high for long.
At 2700 FPS the 245 is right there with it at 1000 yards. Beyond that it just gets better.
