[QUOTE="wnroscoe, post: 131743, member: 6698"] I've been hunting with a 300 jarrett for approx. 5 years now. It's twisted 12 and loves anything from 165's to 175 SMK's. I feel that a 10 twist would have been better so 200's could be used. I have come to the conclusion that for moderate range, 0-400 yards, a bonded type bullet should be utilized so jacket core separation could be minimized. At ranges exceeding 400 yards, bullets with softer jackets like SGK's, SMK's etc. could be used since velocities would have dropped off and Jacket Core separation would have been minimized. I currently use the Swift Scirocco’s for 400 yards and under and 175 SMK's for beyond 400 yards. These two bullets have POI of less than .50 moa difference at 400 yards, minimal for the range. This has worked good for me this year resulting in less tissue damage at close range. The two bullets you are asking about should do the same for you if used like I described. The Bergers hit like a hammer out of my friends 300 RUM and the Accubonds drive tacks from his sons rifle. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
