Alright.. So, I went out the other day and bought a new Christensen Ridgeline in 300 win mag, and topped it with a Vortex Viper PST 3-15, cause hey, Treat Yo?self, right? Didn't really need it, but have been wanting one for a while (too bad now I need another gun safe, I'm officially out of room in the current one)
Took it to the range the other day, to start running through the barrel break in procedure that Christensen requires. I?m pretty much done with that, and will start shooting different rounds to figure out what the gun likes best. I?ve already picked up some Federal Premium trophy bonded tips, and some Nosler E-tips. I kinda like the idea of shooting a copper or mono bullet, as I?ve been shooting Barnes TSX?s out of my .270 for years. But, I?m not married to that bullet, and am open to suggestions.
Does anyone have a bullet type/size they really like out of their .300? In addition to the above, I?ll also pick up a box of Nosler Accubonds and Partitions, probably all in 180 grain. Will probably test drive some Barnes as well.
I don?t know much about the ballistic performance of any of the Hornady, Sierra or Berger bullets, but if they make a round that?s good for deer, elk, moose and the like, I?m down to try them. 180?s seem to be the common size, but would be open to hear thoughts on shooting heavier bullets.
