[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 57342, member: 231"] 220gr MK OAL as long as your throat will allow. Start at 86gr of retumbo and work up. 210(or 215) Fedarel match primer. Bill, while that bullet out of a 300RUM might work ok on deer, it doesn't do anything well. It blows up at close range, and does not have the BC for longe range. Your drop isn't that much flatter at close range and is alot worse at longe range. Its offers no advantage in wind drift. In short while you can make it work, as long as everything is perfect, it sucks at long range compared to heavier, higher BC bullets in everything including, drop, wind drift, retained velocity, and terminal ballistics. However I am all for a man using whatever WORKS FOR HIM. So if it works, and you like it; use it. [/QUOTE]
