I do agree that the 200 gr Nosler in a 300 Win between 2830 -2950 fps is a great combination.I loaded 72.5 gr H-4831 in WW brass and Fed 215 primers for a friend to shoot plains game in Africa twice and was most impressed with results on all sizes of game.This load clocked 2830 in an older Ruger and shot extremely well ( well under .5 for 5 @100 ).The second time I also loaded 74 gr @2950 also but told him that could cause problems in hot weather( load worked up at 80 degrees)-every case in this lot had expanded primer pockets when shot in hot weather in Africa. He is a lawyer so I did say "I told you so." The other brass was loaded 6 times more.I also used 200 gr Swift bullets later with the same results .
