[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 151419, member: 2011"] I was in the same boat as you except with a 338 RUM. I tried all of the combinations of bullets and typical powders for the cartridge. Just for fun or desperation or just plain bull hardheadedness I tried US869 w/300 SMKs. WaaLaa. Five shots: 2732/2732/2731/2732/3731. A possibility would be some 869 and some 240 gr bullets. If the load gets the ES/SD down the extra BC would more than compensate for the lower velocity. Also I'd consider setting the target at at least 300 yds to let that long bullet go to sleep somewhere along the line. Plus you'd be more apt to see the vertical spread do to the velocity differences. Just a thought..... [/QUOTE]
