[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2015727, member: 1951"] I’m using Fed 215 GMM, Win case, RL26 and Hornady 212gr ELDX bullets looking for a long range elk round that cuts through the wind. First, there is no real data for this, so I thought let’s shoot a ladder, measure velocities and look at primers. i started at 64 gr and went to 69.1gr.....I was sure I was going to be pulling bullets over 68 something.....nope 69.1gr hit 2860 fps with no serious case or primer marks....I still need to look with magnifier......and most shot into a 1” group! I will shoot some OCW’s, but I’m wondering if I should keep looking for pressure. There is just a bit of bolt lift at 68.8 and 69.1, so I feel that is max most likely. Is 2860fps ridiculous for 212’s from a WSM? Really, I’m just wondering if this looks reasonable based on experience of others here. [/QUOTE]
