[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 2895514, member: 4785"] Buy 50 350gr Sierra MatchKings. Load them up with H4350 you can load them to .020" jump and up to 2450fps. The large bore diameter and case dimensions give the caryrige relatively good expansion ratio for the powder to burn. This means that it performs well in shorter barrels down to 20" compared to say the same case necked to 30 cal needs a much longer barrel ro get velocity. The 350 SMK works well and hitting at extended range they tend to tumble. If hit in the near lungs the animal is going down. Also if you are allowed to supressors the report will be relatively low compared to high velocity magnums. Wind drift will be reduced due to the good BC and with a range finder and Ballistic program out to 500 yards will be fine. I would set these loads up as single loading if shooting long range that is no issue. Have fun and try some out of the box loading. You could also try RE17 for added velocity however it's not temperature stable like H4350. The new Staball 6.5 looks promising and similar burn rate so might get into the 2550 plus velocity. If wanting a load to feed through the mag the sierra spire point boat tails bullets are accurate and work well. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
