[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 227832, member: 9705"] Possum284: Sounds like a good project to me. The cartridge and case are top notch. If I had any reservations it would be that for most things the cartridge is probably overkill. This much power is not needed for anything up to elk but it will certainly work. For thick skinned dangerous game it suffers the same limitations as the 378 Weatherby; it is too much power for many bullets. As a result on game performance can be erratic. But combined with bullets tough enough for 3000fps and the game at hand, it will certainly have plenty of oomph. I would think the 300 accubond would be at it's best at longer ranges where it has slowed a bit, say 1800-2400fps. That will get you a long ways out there even with it's likely modest bc. What twist are you thinking? I'd use what might be needed for a little longer bullet than the accubond. A Berger VLD and SMK are possibilities. Good luck on your project. Hope you can get that Ruger to shot up to the potential of your cartridge!! [/QUOTE]
