Lyn-X Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Anybody shooting a R-1 in .300 win. What hunting factory ammo are you shooting in 150 & 180 grain? what accuracy are you getting? Thanks Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parachute Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 When I was sighting in, I used cheap Federal Hyshok 180 grain. When I confirmed I was close, I used Winchester Elite XP3 180gr. , because that is what I use on elk. My problem is keeping it sighted in. Another forum member said," it may because during reassembling maybe I didn't tighten the gas cylinder all the way." ( I'll have to experiment ) After shooting all year with it, I cleaned it real good before going elk hunting. When I got to my destination, I shot it to double check, at 100 yards, it shot 6" low. I made the correction on the scope and blew the X out of the target at 100 yards. Next day shot a 5 X 5 bull at a little over 100. An other member posted the picture for me on the What Have You Shot with Your R1 thread. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stid2677 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I have shot about every brand in 300 win mag. By far the best shooting and performing for me has been FEDERAL PREMIUM VITAL-SHOK WITH BARNES 180 grain TSX. I have taken most Alaskan game with this combo. Longest shot being on a Dall Sheep Ram shot at 400 yards. Check out my what have you shot thread. This is a photo of my Barnes TSX after it went through both moose shoulder blades and remained just under the skin on the far side after a 325 yard shot.

Lyn-X Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks for the reply's. Steve you have some incredible photo's! Thanks for posting so all can see. My R1 in .30-.06 digests the Winchester XP3 150gr. great. I just bought a R1 in .300 win off gunbroker and am excited on getting it set up.
