Hey guys I need some input on a project I am doing 300 H & H

[N.Y.Arnie]

Hope this is not to long. I have a Remington 700 in 300 H & H Mag that was gifted to me . It has a trigger Tech diamond trigger, E M Precision 30 inch barrel (including brake) not sure of the stock make but has a aluminum chassis. Beast total weight with Sightron scope is 12 !/2 lbs. I have not begun to work a load up yet but decide to inspect first. I finally bought a borescope after doing this for 50 years. Man is that scary LOL.
Anyways I thought about rechambering because of lack of brass and cost of ammo. So upon inspection of bore with the new scope showed heavy copper wash at the exit just before the brake. Has anybody on here seen this before? Also I would like to know if any of my fellow hand loaders have an opinion on Nickle plated brass. I have never tried to use mine because of the negative comment I have heard but do to the lack of brass and the expense is it worth messing with. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I would try it and see how it shoots. Brass is available or can be made using other cases.

Good Luck

Nothing wrong with a 300 H&H. As written above, take it out and shoot it to see what it can do. It's a very versatile cartridge. There's plenty of brass about. First thing I'd do is to get rid of that disgusting stock!

I have never been a fan of making brass from parent cartridge. And come on that's a beautiful stock ( whom ever made it) . LOL

I'd sell it.

Great cartridge! I'd get some good copper solvent(I like BoreTech) and give the barrel a thorough brushing. Also check for carbon ring/carbon wash. When buying once fired cases, a lot of nickel plated brass shows up for the 300H&H. While ai prefer all brass, the nickel plated cases will work well, but generally do not have the case life of an all brass case. Be sure to use sufficient lube, and very clean cases….the nickel can scratch your dyes. With repeated use of a nickel plated case….keep an eye on your necks and web area….For cracking/splitting.
