Very appealing, particularly as I am waiting for a 300 Winnie barrel for my R93. I don't have any UNI/TUG/TIG whatever, in 30 cal.

Bit surprised that something as slow as 2217 works so well with that weight.

You need a chrono, and you'll get old if you're waiting for the A$ to reach parity before getting one :lol:

I wouldn't worry about the COAL thing. If you've sorted it as best you can to suit your mag and throat, your figure will be the go.

Funnily enough I use 2213SC under 201g bullets and tried it under 180g Accubonds with no luck and really sedate velocities at listed maximum loads (back when I had access to a chronograph :lol: ) I do have a perhaps paranoid fear with 2217 of batch to batch variation thanks to it being the new kid on the block :think:

I'm using 2217 in my 300wm 77gr using 210gr VLD and it's very accurate. It's an Amazing powder.

You need one Theo trust me. I shoot mine out to a k on rocks and it's as accurate as my custom 338rum on a good day.

Problem is I already own a 338wm and an 8x68S lol. But a 300wm would fit nicely somewhere in my line up. :think: :handgestures-thumbup:

300WM is a special cal for some reason I have a bit of a soft spot for it. :dance:

Although expect cup and core separation of the last hard lead section at .300Win velocity if pointed at something bigger than a bushbuck

Good stuff, very interesting to see the TUG used in the field by other shooters.
I have used the 7mm and 9.3 variants for years with good results.
