The Browning Long Range Pro 300 WSM ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for extended-range hunting applications. This precision-loaded cartridge features a 180-grain projectile optimized for the 300 Winchester Short Magnum platform, providing hunters with consistent ballistic performance at distances where shot placement becomes critical.
What Makes This Different
Browning's Long Range Pro series incorporates match-grade components and precision manufacturing processes that exceed standard hunting ammunition tolerances. The carefully selected powder charge and bullet seating depth create optimal pressure curves for maximum velocity consistency. Independent testing shows velocity standard deviations under 15 fps, compared to 25-30 fps typical of conventional hunting loads.
Key Features
- 180-grain boat-tail projectile with high ballistic coefficient for extended range capability
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness and flash hole uniformity
- Temperature-stable powder formulation maintains velocity across weather conditions
- Match-grade primers for reliable ignition and consistent pressure development
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications with quality control testing
- Optimized for 24-26 inch barrel lengths common in hunting rifles
- Compatible with all 300 WSM chambered firearms
Field performance demonstrates flat trajectory characteristics with approximately 8 inches of drop at 300 yards when zeroed at 200 yards. The 180-grain bullet weight provides sufficient mass for reliable expansion on medium to large game while maintaining accuracy at extended distances. This load performs consistently in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F, making it suitable for diverse hunting environments from mountain elk hunts to prairie antelope.
