not knocking the 300, just that the less the shoulder the harder to work with the cartridge, like hornets here, cz, 10 in taurus rev, T/C in k hornet. all 3 favor 40 gr vmax.

Unfortunately I cannot comment if it is the cartridge or the barrel that makes it difficult to work with, as I inherited the rifle. When I recieved it the barrel (original Sako barrel) was pretty shot out. So I replaced the barrel and all of my load development has been done on a non-factory barrel. So the doubt allways sets in, is it the barrel or is it the calibre (shape of the case).

Off course, also to show that it can be done, Ben Comfort won the 1000yds Wimbledon Cup in 1935 with the 300H&H!!!

I have a 30-06 Heym (also .308) that is a dream to load for. Takes anything I feed it and gives me sub MOA as long as I keep the speeds at the top end and the bullet just off the lands.
