Anyone on here ever made any .300 win mag with less recoil? I will be shooting it suppressed. I shouldn't ever shoot over 300 yards. Is this even a thing?

I think it's called a 30-06. 
LOL jk, I'm sure you could load down for a reduced load in one, but I've not attempted it myself. I had a friend that loaded 110 gr bullets in one once, man that thing was zipping!

PAST magnum recoil pad. I own 3. At the range I am never without one of them on.
Caldwell bought the company some time ago....prices are still relatively acceptable.
IIRC it is unwise to download a magnum. You can achieve detonation of the powder charge instead of the controlled burn which raises chamber pressure in a known and engineered for manner. True, it is rare. But there is a LOT of room for powder in a 300.
Ever load IMR7828????? This powder has a slow burn rate that just so happens to make 300 Weatherby Mag rifles shoot very accurately. It is still what I use in my 300 Winchester magnums. I never ever go below book minimum.

If you haven't shot it with the suppressor yet you might be surprised at how manageable full power loads are in it. The suppressor really helps.

I have a Rem 700 with the stock pad. Very little recoil anyway (150/180gr).
I haven't yet. I am hoping it does make a difference.
Interesting. I will check these out. Thanks.

Cuts a 300 Win Mag max load IMR7828, 3000 FPS 180 gr Nosler partition, down to 243 level.

On Dave's recommendation I purchased a couple of the PAST recoil pads to use with my 300 WinMag that doesn't utilize a brake. Well worth the investment IMO.
Hodgdon Reloading data website shows 18 different reduced recoil loads, all using a 150 grain bullets (two different brands).
They all show speeds around 2,500fps at ~36,000psi (which is very low)
The most common powders for reduced recoil loads a H4895 and Accurate 5744. H4895 in this data set, but I know people have done it. 5744 powder has been unobtanium.

It will. My 28 Nosler with an Omega 300 on it is tame. I could literally put the buttpad on my forehead and shoot it without it hurting.
My 300 will have the Omega 300 so that's good to know

Ever try accelerators in your 30-06? Back in the 80's I think. 45 grain with sabot. 4500 FPS or something like that.I think it's called a 30-06.
I've still got a few of those I believe.
I'd try a 150 Barnes TTSX with a moderate load of IMR or H 4350.

I put a Banish 30 on my 300 WM and it SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the recoil. Noise level reduced to about the same as my 22 WM. Try the can before you start messing with loads.
Will do. Good call
