Overview
Built for hunters who want a controlled, long-range-capable 300 Win Mag load, this ammunition pairs a 200-grain ELD-X bullet with clean-burning propellant for consistent performance across changing temperatures. The Heat Shield tip is designed to help the bullet maintain its shape in flight, supporting the load’s intended accuracy and terminal performance. It’s a practical choice for big-game hunting and range work when you want one cartridge that can serve both roles. Each box contains 20 rounds with brass casing.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 300 Win Mag load, so it’s best suited to rifles chambered for that cartridge and may not fit a general-purpose ammunition role.
- The 200-grain bullet and 2850 fps muzzle velocity reflect a heavier hunting load, which can come with more recoil than lighter 300 Win Mag options.
- The box contains 20 rounds, so it’s a relatively small quantity for extended range sessions or high-volume practice.
- The product description emphasizes hunting and target shooting, but it does not provide details on specific game applications or range limits.
