    Mate of mine in USA bought a new 300 Win Mag ( custom rifle ) ans several differnt brands of factory amm to see which shot best. All apart from Norma bond strike were only average at best. Can't remember if he used 165 od 180 gn Bondstrike but it shot cloverleaf groups at 100 yds.
    FWIW originally the 300 Win Mag cartridge was developed around a 180 gn bullet and, I think, 1:10 twist rate.

    No luck with the Normas locally. Grabbed some Sako 165s and 200 ELDx. 165s shot nicely so will run with that for now. Cheers

    Holy shit mate, be able to hit them in the eye at that distance. Do love my hc long range, just needs a bit of work on the trigger.
