[QUOTE="jmden, post: 172050, member: 1742"] I'm doing right at 3000fps with 104.5g US869 in a factory 300RUM 26" 1-10 twist barrel. At these speeds this twist will stabilize this bullet fine out to about 1500yds--that's what folks on this site are finding. Just poked an elk at 450 with it last week--between ribs on way in and broke a rib on the way out before going through the heart. Put another in it in the predawn darkness to make sure though as it didn't go down immediately. I think anything weight 240g and going that fast is going to make an impression. I'm getting up to 5-6 firings. This is a cool weather load. US869 is temp sensitive and probably not a bad idea run your load over the chrono at various temps to see how it shoots and if it still shoots OK, adjust the fps Exbal given the temp at time of firing. Just a few ideas... Hope this helps. Jon [/QUOTE]
