[QUOTE="TucsonFX4, post: 3033041, member: 126198"] I think the 212 or 220 eldx should be worth a try, or similarly heavy bergers, Nosler AB or ABLR, or slightly lighter monos if so inclined. Unless using a mono, I think any .30 mag should usually stick with above 200 grain bullets. Of course recoil could be a factor and of course barrel pickiness could be another. I get over 2900 with 212 eldx out of my 300wm, so you ought to be able to do a bit better than that. I’ve used Retumbo, H1000, and IMR4350 with good velocity in my win mag. I couldn’t get my hands on RL22, 23, or 26, so those would be other options to try. Plenty of ways to skin a cat these days with the challenges of finding a lot of these things. [/QUOTE]
