[QUOTE="edward hogan, post: 303341, member: 1341"] Thanks for the compliment. Too kind... Why not use moly coated bullets though? Or is this already assumed and factored in? I sold my .30-378wby and .338rum, .300rum rifles just because could not see any real advantage once I discovered the .338/300win. Also have a .275gr NEI flatpoint mold in .338. My .454 casull w/345gr Lyman flying pie plate bullet penetrated 27" of cottonwood timber in a staight WheelWeight alloy. The .338/300win at 2200 fps should really deliver the goods. Just couldn't convince myself the .338rum was as versatile... Anyone shooting the Barnes 160gr bullet? They may not even be in production anymore for all I know, but a 160 at 3600 or 3700fps is comparable to a 52gr from a .22-250. Not my idea for varminting, but.. If I keep mouthing off here, I will have to buy a chrony and some 300gr smks and report some results... [/QUOTE]
