208 amax

[micmo]

anyone running the 208 amax in a 300wsm? i used them in a 600 yrd f-class match and they did ok. did'nt have much time to work up a load. i think with a little more time they will work out great.

i would also would like to try the 190 gr bergers.

Re: 208 amax

Give the 190's a try. I think with the WSM you'll be better to get more velocity with the 190's than have a larger bullet with the 208's. I've got the 208's for my 300 RUM but I have enough case capacity to get enough velocity. I could be wrong but that's just what I know from a couple guys I shoot with that have the 300WSM. They get around 3000fps with the Lapua 185's and just a little less with the 190 VLD's. Best thing would be to make up a load with the 208's and check your velocities.

Good luck finding any.

If you have more 208's on the shelf, try H4831sc or RL22. I'm getting excellent speed from RL22 with the 208's out of my 30-06, your 300 WSM has about 12% more case capacity and a shorter case, so the usual equivalent barrel lenth will net you a reasonable jump in speeds.

The 190 Bergers are great bullets too, don't give up on the 208's though.

I use RL22 for my 208 AMAX. However, mine is a 300 WM instead of WSM.

Not to hijack but do any of you know where to find some 208 AMAXs in stock?

Thanks
