Well I have a Remington 264 mag long which I bought in 1966. The best group at a 200 yard target was in 1.2 inch with a 120 grain spitzer HP bullet loaded to 65.0 gr of H4831 putting out 3369 fps muzzle. I have used this load for many years and still shoot my rifle. This rifle has a Stainless steel barrel and I have had no problems. I have resently restocked the rifle with a Boyd premium laminated stock. Also I have shot deer and elk and one bear with this load and they all just drop on the spot. I have a 300 mag built on a M-14 bolt receiver with a steel tapered barrel which I have shot at 150 yards an elk and they just drop. Both rifles are scoped. These two rifles are using my reloads. The 300 winchester Mag is loaded with 72 gr IMR 4831 180 gr Harnedy bullet and 3025 fps muzzle and at 300 yards its 2567 fps. I am 75 now and these two rifles are right on target. They are my best for all around hunting. I use to have a Winchester 458 mag and I could load down for elk and up fo anything. It would go through an engine block at 100 yards with a 500 gr bullet. So this is my picks over many years and I hope this will help you also in your hunting.
