[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1581475, member: 42308"] I’ve been hunting with the 230 OTM since they were released. I have used them in one rifle at a MV of 2,740fps from 17 yards to 740 yards on about a dozen white tail and six feral hogs. Nothing has gone more than 20 yards. I’ve also used the 230 OTM from one of my 30/06 at 2435fps that I’ve taken about 20 white tail deer and three 200 pound plus feral hogs with from 75 yards to 719 yards. Again nothing has gone more than a very few steps. I actually like the performance better in my 30/06, as the exit hole is usually less than 2”. In the 300 magnum the exit can get to be fist sized pretty easy inside 100 yards, bigger if you target the shoulder bones. Finding a load with the 230 OTM in each rifle was stupid easy. I literally just load to a reliably feeding magazine length and find a safe pressure. Everything from 0.010” off the lands to 0.050” off shot 0.6 MOA or better in each rifle. [/QUOTE]
