Went to the range today to try 300 MP in the 28-30. The flier on the target was my fault. Shot this at 100yds. Anxious to try it at 200.

What Primer, Bullet and barrel Twist Rate?
You are off to a real good start and it can get better from there.

The twist rate is 1-16. I used Winchester small pistol magnum primers. The bullet is 135 grs- with quite a bit of taper. The base measures .292 and it goes up to .280.
Yes, Jeff it was the Pope.
See you next week at EG.

Has anyone tried the 300MP in the .25-20WCF and gotten good results?

Give it a try and report back its working extremely well in my 25-21 and a new shooters 25 Hornet and it should work in the 25-20WCF. As of this morning Midsouth Shooters Supply had both the 1lb. and 8lb. containers in stock should you need some to try.

This has been on my to-do list for quite some time. I just haven't found the time to try it. I would be interested in your results if you do give it a try.
