I was given a bag of brass by Jim at Bucky O'Neill Guns. These 300 Win mags were there. they are yours for the asking.

My brother could use those if you don't mind

He got a nice Sako 300 mag this spring to hunt elk with and we need to work up a load for it.

Much abliged brother

What bullet do you have in mind?

I have been shooting a 300 Win Mag for the last 14 years, until I picked up this 375 Ruger, it has always been my go-to rifle. I load mostly 180gr and 200gr bullets, and have had excellent results with RL-22, IMR4831, and IMR7828SSC. Once the cases have all been fired in his rifle, I highly recommend neck sizing only for case life, mine usually suffer from loose primer pockets before anything else. Bullets I like; Nosler Partitions, Speer Grand Slams, and Barnes Triple Shocks.

I have loaded for my 300 for near 20 years now

The plan is to create two loads, a reduced practice load using H4895 and a 180 gr boat tail and a full snot load with ether the 200 gr Partition or the 180gr Partition. My rifle doesn't seem to care for the 200s but loves the 180s so no big deal. I have killed 10 or 12 elk with the gun and load so I know it is setting him up right. My rifle really likes H4831 for whatever reason but I have a fresh pound of RL22 ready to go to try as well. Like you said once they have been shot in the gun I just neck size the brass so we will have to keep his brass separate from mine. Trying to have him a supply of both loads will be greatly helped with Robb's offer, I have a few new cases to spare but not enough to set him up with a good supply of both..

My brother doesn't reload (although he wants to learn) and is a disabled vet from head trauma issues who has just gotten into big game hunting hard here in the last two years. I have been trying to get a day where he can get up here to the house and do the loading with me but it looks like I will just have to get some rounds loaded for him to get going this year. It's the least I can do for him I figure. We are going to hunt deer and antelope for sure this year and I may go on his elk hunt just depending on how the season shakes out...
