Description
.300 Winchester Magnum 182 Grain Hammer Hunter (tipped)- The .300 Winchester Magnum is one of the most successful and widely respected big-game cartridges ever developed. Introduced by Winchester in 1963, it was designed to deliver magnum-level velocity and energy while fitting into a standard long-action rifle. Its belted case and efficient powder capacity allow it to launch heavy .30-caliber bullets at high speeds, producing excellent downrange performance and consistency.
What truly sets the .300 Winchester Magnum apart is its versatility. With bullet weights commonly ranging from 150 to 200 grains, it is capable of ethically taking nearly all North American big game—from deer and pronghorn to elk, moose, and large bears. Its flat trajectory and strong retained energy make it especially effective at extended distances, while modern bullet designs provide reliable penetration and controlled expansion. Proven, powerful, and adaptable, the .300 Winchester Magnum remains a benchmark cartridge for serious hunters worldwide.
Choice Ammunition hand-loads every .300 Winchester Magnum round with a level of precision and oversight that factory ammunition cannot replicate. Each load is developed through an extensive R&D process that includes pressure testing, velocity analysis, accuracy validation, and real-world field evaluation. Once a load is finalized, every production lot is built to that exact recipe and monitored throughout the loading process to insure consistency. Powder charges are individually measured, components are carefully lot-matched, and finished rounds are inspected and test-fired to confirm consistency. This continuous quality control ensures repeatable velocities, and predictable terminal performance—lot after lot. The result is premium .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition you can trust when the shot truly matters.
The Bullet:
182-grain Hammer Hunter tipped bullet for its exceptional balance of accuracy, penetration, and terminal performance. This precision-machined, solid copper bullet is designed to deliver deep, straight-line penetration while producing controlled, consistent expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. The polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and improved long-range energy retention, while the Hammer Hunter’s unique design sheds petals on impact to create devastating wound channels without sacrificing penetration. Ideal for everything from deer to large-bodied elk and moose, the 182-grain Hammer Hunter complements the .300 Winchester Magnum perfectly.
