.300 Holland and Holland, opinions and suggestions on how to feed one

[Altitude sickness]

As often mentioned. It’s surprising that the Super 30 hasn’t had a resurgence. Bullet selection, feeding, accuracy, recoil.

The cartridges 300 H&H Magnum and 30 Super Belted Rimless H&H are often described as the same, but this is not entirely true. In my opinion the cartridge 300 H&H Magnum is the more modern version and offers some advantages if you stick to the earlier specifications of both cartridges.

In my opinion the cartridge 300 H&H Magnum became popular after Ben Comfort won the 1000-yard Wimbledon Cup Match at Camp Perry in 1935. Thereafter perhaps chamber dimensions closer to the upper tolerances of the 30 Super chamber became established in the USA and our cartridge 300 H&H Magnum was born.

At the 1935 Wimbledon Cup Match, Ben C. Comfort set one of Camp Perry's more memorable "firsts."

My rifle caliber 300 H&H Magnum was built in 1964 in Germany also with a Model 17 action, like the rifle of Ben Comfort built by Griffin &Howe.

My most accurate factory load is the one pictured below. Otherwise, I was able to find a very good reload with 180gr TSX bullets.

My 300 H&H is headed to Namibia next week for an Eland, Oryx, Zebra, and hopefully some others. I had great luck with Reloader 22, GM215M primers and twice fired Winchester brass. This attached target has the three 200gr Northfork solids (not 180s like the note on the target) touching at the bottom and the top two are 180gr A-Frames. The 200s are 2905fps and the 180s are 2978fps.

The 180 Silvertip shoots very well out of mine also

I saw that Midway has several HSM 300 H&H loads back in stock. I’ve never tried it but another option.

Thank you all for the helpful suggestions. I’m debating between getting 100 rounds of loaded ammo vs the Hendershots route.

I was able to get a set of dies from an a young man I know, his father was an avid gun guy, owning a small town gun store briefly. He has two or three of nearly everything gun and ammo related

Reloading is half the fun, so I am leaning toward purchasing some factory ammonium to get the gun sighted in. Reloading to find a pet load from there.

Anyone who has 100+ rounds of factory ammunition they want to sell, feel free to PM me.

Thank you for your advice.

John

@John the Electrician, I'd buy the factory ammo available at Midway USA, and then I'd keep an eye on Raven Rocks Precision and get on their mailing list for when the 300 H&H brass is available.
