Canadian_Goose Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I just loaded some 220 gr Hornady Interlocks into my 300 win mag. Any idea what I can expect from this load? Anything i should know. I also want to try the Barnes MRX but we don't have them up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: New load It all depends on how fast they are going. The 300 Winnie will max out about 2800 fps +- depending on barrel length. It will take anything on this continent. It's performance in deer will be no different than a 180 gr bullet from a 30-06 as both will completely penetrate and exit the opposite side. It will not cause as much damage as a 165 gr bullet from your 300 Win though. The round nose configuration will open faster than a spitzer though. It will be a good moose and big bear load though. Basically, where you need deep penetration with good expansion is where this bullet shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowana Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Re: New load Excellent choice for Moose or Bear. Range is probably limited to around 250-300 yards. I would think the bullet would only be going around 2650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
