Looking for a .300 H&H Magnum

Buying a gun for your ammo, thats a new one! GL

No it's not.

 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 know of a Rem. 721 in 300 H&H at small local store here in central ND and it's in really nice shape!

 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

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.

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

That'd be a nice rifle.

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

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.

 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.

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.
