Where to find 300 win mag ammo

[mprice]

I just found a pretty good deal on a Browning xbolt Medallian 300 win mag. I would prefer to start out shooting factory match boat tail ammo in the 180 gr bullet range. From what I've been reading, it would seem the higher weight end of the scale shoots more consistently.

Does anybody have any brand or retailer preferences? I'm in new territory here and would appreciate some advice, thanks.

I also realize that the choices may limited and spendy to start out - and, I do have in mind a future that may include reloading (for consistency, bullet / powder choice, etc) so I haven't ruled that out yet. But, would like to at least get started with factory ammo.

Thanks in advance for your help / suggestions.

You have a great cal. finding ammo is expensive, reloading is lots of fun and cheaper than buying factory stuff,I started reloading when I was 15 years old, its not that hard to do, you just have to be careful... get any reloading manual, they all have a beginners loading section in the front of the manual... and their is plenty of help on this web site just ASK...

300 win mag can be anywhere from 25 to 50 bucks a box and can be found at academy, and most reasonable sized supplies who you would typically go for gun stuff..

I have in it a TC Encore and love it..

Thanks guys - I may be being too picky but, I'd like to find factory match grade 180gr boat tail just to see what the rifle will do (I've even looked at Nosler!)- most of the loads are hunting loads or have some sort of synthetic tip (prefer hornady, but they seem stuck on GTX, SST, non boat tail ammo.

I'm beginning to think I'll be spending about twice what I paid for the rifle on reloading stuff and a good scope - but, that's just a big oh, well?!

Still gonna be gun poor (and, I know, I'm not alone),

Have you tried the Southwestern ammo? What do you think? I think it looks promising.

Thanks

Considering it's in use for uncle sam right now, .300 win mag may one day see "surplus" status.


a man can dream...

Nevarwinter - from your lips to Uncle Sams ears!!!
