.307 owners?!

Am in possesion of ,and handload for the 307 Win. With the Winchesters heavy barrel, it is extremely accurate when scoped. It does very well with Speer's line of jfps, 130, 150 and 170 grains. You use commonly available 308 dies to reload/hand load for it. See shops asking 600-800 dollars for good to ex examples of em.
Using the Speer jfp bullets, Win 748, Fed 215 primers and published data:
130 at 2850 fps
150 at 2600 fps
170 at 2400 fps

The 307 is in the Big Bore family.... heavier action and barrel... extra pound to carry but a better off hand shooter than its lighter 30-30 cousin.
Factory 180's are tack drivers from mine, Nosler 170s and FTX 160s shoot great also. Never got 150's to group as well at 100, or liked the results on deer at closer range. The ratio of edible meat to purple jelly is bad when you push a lighter 30-30 flat nose that fast.

Thanks zeke for the reloading info!
I was with my friend when he bought the gun, along with a 12ga over-under and a 270 Remington rifle. At the same time I got a Mossberg 500, an old Sears shotgun, an SKS in great shape, and a 20ga shotgun. The both of us together only spent about $500 for all 6 guns.
We bought the guns from a friend of mine that inherited them. He had just had a baby and didn't want the guns around and needed cash. We offered him more than what we paid but he said to take them at the original price.

I've had a .307 since the 90s. I finally shot up all my factory ammo and i am hand loading my own now with mixed results, accursey has been good at a 100 yds, but recoil has increased to the point that my lever starts to kick down on some shots and it really stings the hell out of my hand. I am working on some different loads to tame it down a little.
