Range Time
The level of consistency when it comes to accuracy has been one of this cartridge’s biggest assets. No matter the bullet weight or barrel length, it has proven to be a sub MOA performer, and more often than not, closer to half MOA. My best groups always come with the 110-grain Controlled Chaos—a bullet made specifically for the 300 HAM’R by Leigh Defense. Every group fired at 100 yards was under 0.75 inches, with my best 5-shot group measuring less than 0.50 inches edge to edge. Groups at 300 yards were in the 2.70- to 3.50-inch range across the board. Overall, it fairs much better than the 300 BLK at distance Wilson Combat’s 300 HAM’R has the same energy on target at 300 yards as the 300 BLK does at roughly 150 yards, and with almost 10 inches less drop. Does everyone “need” that energy? Maybe not, but if you will see game animals (or threats) at 300 yards, the 300 HAM’R is a far better choice. Perceived recoil with this cartridge is about the same as a 300 BLK using stouter loads.
