Looking for 300 H&H loads, ammo, and scope bases

SCO · #1 11-06-2010, 01:37 AM

I just picked up a couple of rifles chambered for 300 H&H and I am looking for a set of bases and any good load data. The one that I plan on using is a post war pre 64 model 70 that has shot 64 rounds, I would also be interested in factory ammo if anybody has some kicking around and do not have a use for anymore. All info greatly appreciated.

Load data is readily avail on the bullet mfgr's websites, and on the powder mfgr's websites. The first thing to determine is what bullet YOU want to use.
Then go to that mfgr's site and see what they recommend on load data. Whether or not that load is any good in your gun is up to the gun, and the accuracy standards you want to set. Most magnum cases respond best to near full case capacity or compressed loads using magnum primers and slower burning powders such as IMR 4350 or IMR or H4831, reloader 19, IMR7828.
There is lots of info avail on the .300H&H, it's a good cartridge.

Thanks for the info. I have already done that and I think I figured out a couple base & ring variations. The only thing is if anbody has them in stock. Was at WSS earlier tonight and they did not have a store in Alberta that showed stock in leupold or weaver. It seems that leupold only makes the quick release for this model, the 375 H&H, and 458 win mag. Any other calibers of this vintage take a varitey of bases. I am glad that the other 300 H&H that I bought is not drilled & tapped so I do not have to find bases for it. It is a actual Holland & Holland. There probably are no bases available.
