[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 170495, member: 22"] meichele, I currently shoot 210 SMKs out of my 12 twist barrel at 3050 with no problem. Have done it in the past with other cases and several fellow shooters have also without a problem. I don't see you having many problems with them out of a 300 RUM even in colder temps. So don't let the 12 twist hold you back from trying them if that is where you want to be. NZ Longranger, I'll have to search the archives for what Richard is doing with alloy tips. I know of a fellow competition shooter (that is a true mechanical engineer) that tried aluminum tips in his bullets and had some adverse affects on accuracy. When he calculated out the actual weight of the tip under acceleration in the barrel, it equated out to 150# of force on the bullet. They didn't shoot very good at all because the bullets were deforming when fired. Those numbers are from memory. I hope they are correct. He scraped that project real quick. Steve [/QUOTE]
