[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 205673, member: 8843"] I agree with roy about the speed thing the extra 150fps your seeking isin't gonna amout to a hill of beans on an animal though it may make a noticable differance in drop and wind drift but unless your using a lazer or layed out markers and wind flags I doubt it'll make that big of a differance. I'd suggest that if it is the speed that you have to have , either switch to a differant bullet (maybe the 265gr wildcats), maybe try a differant powder , but asking 3000fps from the RUM case with rem brass is alot and you will likley loose ALOT of case life and the accuracy will probably suffer also. I know that I'll gladly give up 150-200fps if I gain 1/2-3/4 MOA group reduction. [/QUOTE]
