I just picked up some 200gr for my 300 win mag.
Anyone have experience with these?

I'll scale them today sometime, just worried about seating depth and how far off the land people are liking it. They are a long bearing bullet, almost as pricy as the Berger high end

Been shooting them for almost a year . I like them but i have had a problem with them fitting in my blind magizine . I first loaded them so thay where just off the lands when chambered .but this made my 300 a single shot because the where too long to fit into the magazine. Now I seat them deeper in the brass to clear the into the mag . But I worry the big jump to reach the lands will cause early throat erosion ? I haven't found diffence in accuracy and that really surprised me . Since it's a brand new custom barrel I don't think I will ever get the chance to wear it out in in the next decade . Might as well keep shooting them since it seems to like them . Really hopeing to hit 1000 yard gong this year .

I had a similar issue with Accubonds in one of my rifles. I cut the tips off with a Dremel. I gained about 20 thou in the magazine and kept the original OAL. Accuracy didn't change out to 300 yds so they are still OK for hunting. At 1000 yds there will be some difference but maybe not all that much.

I've been using 208gr in my 28" barrelled heavy .308. Very accurate out to 1200m. Using 42.0gr of Varget and getting 2575fps speeds.
