300 Win Mag BAR

[baconeater20]

I have a Safari 300 Win BAR. Doing a ladder test for it using 180 Grain SST's and H-4350 powder looks like I will end up some where around 2750 to 2775 fps. Is that normal for a BAR? I can try some H1000 but was told the 4350 was the best for the BAR. Any feedback on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

No idea about the BAR, but that is slow for a 300 wm. 180s will go 3k or more.

Well of course they will. Lol

Well of course they will. Lol That my friend is not in question, what is in question is the BAR and FPS.

It may just be.
I had 2 of them back in the early 90's, a 300 and a 338.
I had a cheap Shooting Chrony at the time and neither rifle were within 200fps of what was on the box or in the loading manuals.
Unfortunately, I had to hand those rifles in in 1996 due to the Port Arthur massacre that occured here then.
Speed ain't all that anyway.

Cheers.
