[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 987045, member: 9281"] So, I have a friend who asked me for some help choosing and designing a deer/elk rifle possibly to be used to 800 yards on elk. He wants something under 9lbs that he can carry. My immediate thought was 300 Win and 215 Bergers. Probably a 26-28" barrel. We will have a match chamber cut as well. Here's the question, has anyone experimented with this combo and RL33? Is it too slow of a burn rate for the 215? I realize it will fill the case but we can seat the bullet out and design the chamber to work around it. 3.750" COAL would put the shank/boat tail junction just a slight bit below the case neck. I would think this would leave lots of room for a full house of RL33. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
