[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 453931, member: 23486"] I can't help you with the Swift but I can offer some help with the two 300 mags: 300WM- If you can't stabilize the 210 Berger, I would suggest NOT using the 200 TSX, I have been using the TSX, TTSX & MRX in rifles for several years & I honestly believe the 200 TSX is to much bullet for the 300WM (unless you're hunting costal grizzlies). In smaller game (probably even elk) at +200 you will more than likely experence some penciling through the game. My experinece with the 300WM & similar velocity cartridges is that they don't generate enough velocity to create reliable expansion at extended ranges, 180grn Barnes would be better IMHO & stick with the TTSX; you will get a slightly better BC & more consistent expansion due to the polymer tip. Now the big Weatherby may be the exception to the rule above as it can generate a good bit more velocity than the 300WM which will definitely aid in more reliable expansion although I still wouldn't hesitate to shoot the 180's (probably the MRX) on pretty much anything, either may be a great choice. In case you don't know the difference between the MRX & the TTSX; the MRX has a Tungsten based Silvex core in the base of the bullet which shortens the bullet (compared to a 180 TTSX), moves the center of gravity rearward in the bullet & also penetrates like a MOTHER do to the extremely hard material. (they're also about $2.00 a bullet). Hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
