[QUOTE="David P. Herne, post: 27425, member: 29"] Brent, It appears to be well established at this point that Reloader 19 is the very best propellant for the subject cartridge. But I had no idea such remarkably high initial velocities could generated with it in 180-gr VLD projectiles. The cartridge just isn't supposed to be capable of this level of ballistic performance, as is maintained in so many published evaluations thereof, which, incidentally, also tell us that it could never substitute for the .300 Winchester Magnum. With this, however, I firmly disagree. I mean, I've never see safe .300 WM loads drive 180-gr projectiles at over 3200 fps! As to your question about the length of the barrel on this new rig, it's 28 inches. Texas, I'm sorry I was working this past weekend. But call any time so we can just chew the fat and talk about hooking up to do some training for LRH of the elusive whitetail deer we have here in Texas. Regards, Dave [/QUOTE]
