[QUOTE="Broz, post: 618057, member: 7503"] Most likely yes. What we have seen is that the 230's seem to be more efficent in a 30-378 than a 210 when both are loaded to their accuracy / velocity node. In the 300 win with the 210 and 230 we see the 230 match the 210 in velocity at 1000 yards with the 230 carrying about 130 lbs more energy and with less wind drift. Looking at TMR's data with the 300 rum comparing the 230 and the 215 it is important that we look at the differences and make a choice. TMR seen the same wind drift with both bulets, but the 230 required about 1 to 1.25 more dial up. The 230 did carry a little more energy even with a slower muzzle velocity. I feel it boils down to a personal choice that should be made with considerstion to what game will be hunted and at what distances. Knowing how Berger bullets work and the fact they do expell off a good portion of their weight in fragments leaving the rest of the bullet to carry on and in most cases pass through, I like to use the heaviest bullet I can when elk are on the menu. Either way I feel the differences between the 215 and the 230 are small and both are very very good high BC bullets for long range performance in a 30 cal. Jeff [/QUOTE]
