The Rocky Mountain bolt action in .300 Win. Mag.<\/h3>\n

Test results at the range<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In all, I tested six handloads and 13 factory loads from seven different companies, with almost identical averages of 0.828 and 0.824 inches, respectively. (I dropped one factory load and one handload from the test due to signs of high pressure.) The rifle also delivered on its half-inch accuracy guarantee with factory loads at 0.305 and 0.425 inches, and one handload at 0.418.<\/p>\n

For hunting elk- and moose-sized game at longer ranges, Hornady\u2019s 200-grain ELD-X Precision Hunter and Nosler\u2019s 190-grain AccuBond Long Range would top my list. For shorter ranges or hunting in heavy cover, it would be hard to beat a handloaded Hornady 220-grain bullet with H1000 powder. All three of those loads shot into less than 0.75 inches, with two bettering 0.5.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s little question this rifle lives up to its billing in every respect. Not only is it a very well-made and robust rifle that would handle the rigours of any elk or moose hunt, it\u2019s also an excellent shooter. Big game beware, the Rocky Mountain is headed your way\u2014and it\u2019s made in Canada!<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0All groups are three shots at 100 yards with velocities obtained utilizing the Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and averaged.\u00a0 This was the first opportunity I had to utilize the new Garmin Xero C1 Pro and discovered this small, compact and very user-friendly chronograph is a marvel. It was so simple to use and accurately recorded every shot fired during this entire test.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
