[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1206090, member: 7999"] There have not been many of the 307g bullets out there yet. Roy is in the middle of testing them now. Hopefully he got the dies he needed so he could load them. We have one customer that is a member here that shot them very well out to 300y that I know about. They shot 3/4" for him at that range. As far as stretching them out, I have not heard from him. I will have my rifle done soon so that I can get out and play with them. I have a hundred of them sitting on my shelf in the reloading room waiting. What altitude are you at? My rifle that is getting fitted with a new Lilja is also a 1-9" twist. I have just enough altitude to run them well depending on how cold it is. Where we hunt there is enough altitude to run them down to about 0*F. We have in the works to design a .338 specific to the 9" twist that I expect to come out about 290g. This may be where I end up for hunting. After all the terminal performance testing that we did, I will never again hunt with a bullet that is under 1.5sg stability factor. I'll certainly shoot marginally stabile at inanimate objects as they will definitely shoot accurately. I'd love for you to give them a go. I am sure you won't be disappointed. Steve [/QUOTE]
