Looking for a .300 H&H Magnum

I was cleaning up some of the old mans stuff from long ago and found 2 boxes of ammo for the .300 H&H Magnum he used to have. Don't know where that one ever went, but I think he got rid of it before he died. I think I need to find another one for myself to make use of his ammo I found. They are said to be good guns, but hard to find. So if anyone out there has one collecting dust, i would be interested. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks.

 Easiest would be to have a 'smith spin a new bbl onto a Remington for you.  More to my liking would be to find a SS 70 Winchester Classic in 300Wby, 375H&H, or 300RUM, spin the bbl off and have the new bbl spun on.  You'd have THE slickest feeding 300 Magnum available as well as a good conversation piece.  For a Winchester you've either got to start with an action built to house the full length magnum cases like I've listed above, or, have a smith that can modify the ejector, bolt stop, and ejection port as necessary to ensure proper F/F as well as get you the full-length magazine box.

I have a Remington Custom Shop 300 Rum  Stainless North American edition I would be willing to part with.  I would even give you some Nosler factory ammo.  My 375 H&H has a whole lot less recoil than that 7lb. Rum.

 I bought one a year and change back... in a Ruger #1.
Winchest is chambering them in a falling block right now as well.
 I picked mine up for a song though--- around 900$ out the door.
She shoots two loads VERY well.
72 RL19, 168 CT, 215M-- around 3200 fps 1 MOA @ 100
70 RL22, 180 Hornady FB, 210--- Around 2900-2950 fps. 3/4 MOA @ 100

300 H&H is pleasent to shoot  a long soft recoil the 300 RUM is a bastard  any of the H&H is a good caliber to bench the weatherby is another with a fast sharp recoil
 A good friend has a 244 H&H from the 50's and that gun does perform well with a 105 gr.  He has killed elk and a ND moose one shot


Compare it to falling down or being pushed down

My 300 RUM is a puddytat.
90 RL25, 190 HDY- I havent gotten to run it across my chrono yet, but the load groups around 1/2moa.

Keep in mind I have a scendero with a vias muzzlebreak... the thing weighs 11lbs dry.

I bet your friends don't stand very close when you drag that out with the break it has to be an ear ringer

It is indeed... You should hear the noise with 100grains of RL50 with a 225 HDY Match.. That also does .7moa out of that rifle.
Not bad for thrice shot brass and first attempt with RL50.

that is 50 rds per pound of powder buy it by the keg I thought the 300 was bad enough with 81 grs.
At 100 grains just dip it full vibrate it and load it up that has got to be a full
The RUM is enough for anything in North America   
Recoil has to be plenty with the break--------not a daily shooter

Actually, believe it or not, at 11lbs with that break, it felt like a light 3006 bumping the shoudler.
Was able to hold on target thru the entire process of the shot. The concussion was the bad thing... HOLY HELL. Sadly,  I dont think I could get enough powder in the case to get to max SAAMI pressure specs.... at least the primer looked good, and exctraction was a non issue.
Im guessing the pressure held a LONG way down the pipe though... My brother chrono'd that same load (at 3.650 OAL and at 98 grains). He was a breath under 2900 FPS... at 100 grains, and headroom to spare, Im quite certain I chould hit 3050fps safely and maintain group size WAY out there.

Good god.  I run 200's over 3K with a plain old 300 Win Mag and 25gn less powder.

I do give you an A+ in doing things the hard way though.

I've hit 2850 safely with a 220 round nose in a 300 Win Mag.
77 Grains of RL25 does it... and well.
However, I wanted to build a Sendero in 300 RUM. I got rid of my 300 Win Mags.
 
I had Scheels send the rifle in to their custom shop, and had a Vias break installed.
It's a complete Weaver Tactical top end on her, and a Burris FF II 6.5x20x50.
I also have a harris bipod, a 9-13in non rotate... I forget the model number.
 
The 190 Hornady load seems to be the ticket. I need to chrono the thing and test long range stability soon. It may or may not pan out.... a 100 Meters tells you nothing.

 Help me here.  Just what is the advantage to the extra powder burned, extra heft, and extra recoil?  You paid extra to give away FPS?

If I were a thing standing in front of my 300, I'd want to be further than I have elevation to dial.

Most don't reload to the Rum's full potential.  Advantages in my opinion: none.  I paid less than cost on my Rum new because it sat for a couple years.  As far as recoil and noise my suppressor should take care of those issues for me as soon as Yankee Hill makes a quick detach muzzle brake/Flash hider.  Or else I will screw on a new barrel and get and new bolt and have something else and still be money ahead on the trigger, squared action and stock.  Unless Horsager you want a custom shop 300 Rum.  Trust me it won't make you flinch at all.

Bolt should be .532, just pick your magnum poison.  If it's got the KS stock with a blind bottom I'd consider taking that off your hands provided it's Pre-B&C.

 Im n ot giving anything away... I dont know of a single 300 Win mag that wouldnt be over pressure pushing a 190 to 3200/3300 or a 225 past 2950..
 
It's just like anything else... 100fps here/there.
I chose that cartidge because I wanted to get rid of the belt, however vain that was... it's beside the point.
It's just another pressure engine to me.

It is a '09 at least that is what the price tag says.  Looks alot like the above.  Only problem is I have never saw a rubberized finish like this stock is on a Bell and Carlson before.
