300 WSM Ammo Test [Part 1]: Savage 110 Trail Hunter

[@jasonbrock1055]

You're exactly right, I love seeing budget rifles with factory ammo getting sub moa groups! That Savage TH is impressive.

[@martyadams3915]

Savage has for a long time been the go to for inexpensive accuracy. The 110 line set the standard for quality off the shelf trigger units. Just remembered that back in the 90's i bought some remington 200 gr. safari grade swift A frame ammo for my .300 win mag. I wonder id remington made that load in a .300 wsm. Honestly it was a huge overkill with extra recoil but i got pin point accuracy with it from my Weatherby/leaupold set up.

[@Blair338RUM]

300 WSM is the ballistic twin of the 300 H&H. 👍👍

[@KretinD]

The value we receive from your channel is unparalleled

[@WHOTEEWHO]

🙏🙏🙏 appreciate you watching

[@weekender38]

Purdy dang impressive for 300 WSM that a working man could own.

[@Eye_Guard]

I'm a fan of a 200 gr. in the .300 WSM 👍 It's a great flying bullet. Great videos and choice on materials! Thank you.

[@andrewplaza257]

Best gun channel in KZbin!!!!

That is some good free advertisement for Savage. Very impressive groups.

[@rossholmes178]

Hey mate...greetings from Australia. Big fan of your channel and really appreciate the effort you put in to pushing out a video per day. Right behind you in believing that precision and accuracy are worthy aspirations. Have had my eye on .300 WSM for a little while now and this vid (no doubt Pt II as well) provided useful insight. Thanks again...

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Appreciate you watching

[@snowmankace7769]

Picked up a savage 110 left hand 300 wsm with a bull barrel and beautiful wood stock for my wife last year. She got tired of the 30-06 not being able to reach out as flat as the rest of our groups 300 win. That 300 wsm is a shooter

[@MichaelRobertson-i8f]

I bought the Remington 700 in the 300WSM when it was called the Elk Edition, this was approximately back in 2008 . Barns use to produce the MRX bullet which was in my opinion the Best Bullet ever designed. Being 74 years old and reloading since I was 12 years old, with the old Lee reloading kit, there was no press all you got was a sizing tube and a shaft that allowed you to push the wads or bullet after you would scoop of powder- it was the simplest possible system.

[@dalebenson6859]

The Lee powder scoop was dangerous because not all powders have the same burn rate

[@clintonlayne9253]

Adam, Great improvement you are deploying the proper techniques Brass .My 280 Remington loves the Federal fusion. The rifle is a Browning A bolt. .

[@IRishbuck58]

These ammo comparisons videos are the best

[@tjsochacki6164]

I have a browning x-bolt 300wsm and I hand load for it also. The 300wsm excels with 150 and 165 grain bullets. Accubonds shoot 1 hole! The 300wsm does it all!

[@AikensLake701]

Why would you shoot a 300 wsm for 150 g bullet?

[@njm1251]

That rifle is accurate, I'm impressed

300 WSM is my favorite of the short mags. The 325 WSM is next favorite one. Ain't nothing wrong with a Savage.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

I think the 300 WSM is an excellent choice for both hunting and long-range shooting.

[@1nfamyX]

How does it compare to 300PRC downrange tho?

[@edwardabrams4972]

@@1nfamyXthe 300wsm holds the 1,000 yard record in accuracy 🙌

[@1nfamyX]

@@edwardabrams4972 is it still supersonic tho?

[@dalebenson6859]

@@edwardabrams4972 many 300 mags I am sure are accurate at long range if done by a Highly skilled gunsmith using quality barrels and actions and the 300 Wby mag for the Pennsylvania long range shooting club has been a favorite for 1000-yard shoots. So, saying one 300 kind of magnum is better than the other wouldn't be true.

[@1911smokinggun]

Savage are fantastic shooters. It's a great rifle for a great price.

[@ValidSurvival]

Looking forward to more tests like these!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@sonnygay3597]

You have got to be happy with those results. I know I would . I want to get a CVA cascade long range hunter in 7mm rem mag but I might be having second thoughts . You certainly are getting fantastic results with your 2 savage 110 trail hunters ! Enjoyed the video 👍

Great to see the scope height right where it should be over your other videos 👍🏻 keep up the great work!

I was waiting for you to drop these videos before I bought one, but I went ahead and ordered yesterday because I didnt think there would be an issue. Glad I did. Looking forward to it getting in.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

It is a good one for sure

[@Rosco62]

I’ve got a Winchester model 70 in 270 WSM that my brother in law won in a raffle years ago…. No sights drilled n tapped but no scope ever mounted still has the tag hangin on the trigger guard

[@scottscheuerman8714]

I really like the 270 WSM I also have one and it is a good shooter biggest problem is finding ammunition and brass for it I have made some brass up by running the 300 WSM brass through the 270 WSM dies

[@berniestraka577]

I have a Savage 111 in 300 Win Mag and it loves the Remington Scirroco. My problem is that it is almost impossible to find that ammunition anymore. Luckily I stocked up when I could find it.

[@EdMorales-r3m]

Sometimes Cabelas has it

[@davidmartin7479]

Howdy from SoDak WTW and Halfmilesniper. Hard to beat the 300 wsm. Great caliber. Have had one for the last 23 years. Super accurate and have taken alot of critters with it too.

[@Codename-Raven]

Another excellent video, that might be another I consider picking up

[@Looscannon94]

I just checked and I think you are right about Federal no longer producing 150gr Fusion for the 300wsm. They are still producing the Fusion in both 165gr and 180gr, though.

[@rosalindstewart7013]

Check the seating depth on the ammo that shoots, that should be your depth when reloading cheers Yogi ✌️🤙

All of my Savage rifles all shoot. Just no frills

Heavy barrel Savage riffles are a shoe in if you spend the money & get the long range ELD-X-M or other. If you haven't tried the Savage Desert TAC. in 6mm creed then you are missing out. love the vids man Keep em going

Welcome to Savage Nation 😊

[@WHOTEEWHO]

💯💯💯

[@NC-xk1eg]

This was a really good comparison through that great shooting rifle. The WSM certainly has my attention. I really enjoyed this particular ammo selection. Occasionally that "Federal Blue Box" will really surprise me. (Just not in this test today 😂)

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

That’s absolutely fantastic Adam. Makes me smile too. Especially since 300 WSM is one of my favorite cartridges and Savage has been the only rifles I’ve owned which sadly is only 3. As you know from my comments on your last video and on IG, if it were available in left hand I would buy it in a heartbeat and sell my right handed Savage Long Range Hunter, because I want one that is threaded but accurate. If you have an elk hunt you should definitely take this exact rifle 😎🇺🇸

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I definitely need to take an elk

[@camwinston5248]

This is your new all around "western" rifle !

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Yup

[@johnkoenig496]

Amazing that all those different brands and weights shot so close together.

[@ears1620]

Moral of the story is 300 WSM is basically a lazer beam

[@dalebenson6859]

Yes, the 300 WSM is a wonderful 30 magnum but there are larger ones that are even faster. I have owned the 300 win mag then a Rem 700 in 300 RUM and then went to using 300 Weatherby magnum rifles which I own a custom Mauser 98 in 300 Wby mag and a Weatherby mark 5 in 300 Wby mag that just got a new 27-inch Pac Nor SS super match barrel.

[@carlwilliams6300]

I’m liking that 300 wsm great groups buddy

[@jamesmunden4607]

I'm going to have to find me one of these Savage 110 trail hunters for sure. Very accurate gun

Wow love how that shoots gro ups. Love the vids

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching

[@geordiegeorge9041]

Here where I live 300 WSM factory ammo is approx $3 per round. If you are a hunter who only fires one or two rounds no problem, but in a 40 round competition, you have to reload or go broke.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

That's impressive. I've given up on Savages since their quality has gone way down (Swiss cheese bores from end to end) but that is the kind of accuracy that Savage routinely had 10 to 15 years ago.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Nice groups again. The Scirocco or the ELDX Federal I would take anywhere in North America for anything. Thank you.

[@dbmail545]

That minimally releaved receiver should be very stiff. Savage bolt guns are an amazing value.

[@Riflehunter-308]

300 WSM is my favorite

[@WHOTEEWHO]

It's a good one

[@dmg4415]

With those accurate low cost rifle, you have the money to get a good scope or a lot more money for ammo.

[@onearmedbandit6936]

300wsm and 270 wsm are the Hardee’s brass to find for us handloaders

[@eddieb4227]

I like that you haven't turned your back on the 300 WSM, like most of the other youtubers have. I have Gotten 3/8" groups from the federal fusion 165 grain.

[@TommyboyGTP]

Swift bullets are among the best out there. That would be my pick without hesitation. A close second would be the Fusions

[@kweeks10045]

The 7mm WSM is one of my favorite rifles. The WSM series is still very relevant in today's crowded cartridge world. I've never owned the 300 variant, but I'm sure it's to the 300 Win Mag what the 7mm is to the Rem Mag. I'd have to say, though, my 284 Winchester can do 90%+ what the 7 Mag can do with a shorter barrel, lighter recoil, less muzzle blast, and generally speaking more accurately.

[@justanobserver530]

Interesting that you have good luck with the fusion ammo. The only fusion I have good luck with is my car 😅

[@brazzy1467]

I love the 300 wsm, I have the older Savage 10 in 300 wsm. I'd actually choose it over my 300 WM.

[@milo555100]

This is exciting accuracy out of a 500 dolla rifle. Wow. Great shooting! Question for you Adam. Are you measuring center to center when you measure your groups? To me….your groups looked smaller than your numbers say. Not a big deal really. Great groups. When im really wanting to scrutinize my group size I will measure edge to edge with calipers and then subtract the bullet diameter. Gives me true (center to center). You got me wanting one if these. Great caliber too! Thank you Sir.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Yup center to center oflr near side to far side. Thanks for watching

[@robertneal4112]

I have several Savage rifles and all of them shoot well except for my Savage Ultralight 300 WSM. That one is super picky. I have tried every ammo that hits the shelves and the only one that shoots good is the Remington Premier Scirocco 180 grain. Unfortunately it looks like Remington has stopped production of it.

[@dmweimer1]

I'm trying to decide on a short action caliber for my first bolt action build and am looking at 6.5 PRC, 6.8 Western, and 300 WSM. I have heard some people say that the 300 WSM can have feeding issues. I know you're a big fan of this caliber. Have you had any feeding issues with this rifle?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I have owned 2. Don't recall any feeding issues

[@DonaldPike]

[@chrispy6313]

I use the 150g fusion in my tikka t3, 300WSM. Didn't know it's discontinued 😮 Anyhoot, I get the same groups as you did with the 150g & 180g Federals. I'll hafta try the Remington. Thanks for the good info.

[@Biglove1997]

I have 3 and 2 don't shoot for shit yet. Well my 25-06 does with only one kind of ammo out of the 5 I tried but the bolt is awful. My 7 prc is terrible sprays bullets in groups no better than 2.5-3.5 inches. I just bought weatherby select plus 177 grain hammer custom ammo for it. $90 a box. If that doesn't work savage can have it back and figure out the issue. My 30-06 is around 12 years old and it's a tack driver though I'll give it that. Used to have a savage 111 in 300 win mag too that was also about 12 years old and it shot great. So seems like the new ones aren't that great. At least to me

[@CB-ck6ze]

When it comes time for you to reload for the 300wsm, you can check out the Speer gold dot 150s. If they still produce them, pretty sure they do but it’s hard to catch them in stock, they are rumored to be the same bullet as the fusion factory loads. Rifles I have that shot the fusion factory load also shot the gold dot well in reloads. The gold dot and the Speer impact are excellent budget friendly bonded bullet options. I’ve got the Speer impact shooting phenomenally out of a Browning xbolt in 6.5prc.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I'll check

[@JohnAngle-vw8yq]

I had an older shooter tell me ine time that any load that would consistantly shoot 1 inch at 100 yards was worth testing at 300yards and to not be suprised if the load rhat was grouping in an inch group might wind up shooting better groups at 300 yds than somthing that was grouping a half inch at 100yds.
