[QUOTE="Yrcan, post: 838875, member: 27493"] I have 1:10 twist yes, 32" barrel. But it has 4200 rounds through it now, and it has lost about 50 m/sec since it was new. I only have the 300 OTM gen 2 bullet, and 300 SMK. Is the Sierra harder than the Berger? I might just stick to my 300 win mag, there is no need to go past 1000 yards to kill the deer I'm hunting for, although I took one at 1254 yards last year. Hit it just behind the shoulder, making a tennisball size exit. It walked 40 yards and was dead. My average range for shooting deer is about 3-500 meters, and then the 300 win mag will be plenty. I have the new 220 grs lapua OTM L-Scenar loaded up and verified, it groups better than the Bergers, but the Bc is way lower. I have found it to be .0639 in my rifle. Lapua will release their dopler radar results in September. The lapua bullets is good for hunting, according to Erkki at Lapua. We'll see ;) [/QUOTE]
