[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1346927, member: 2736"] The reason I suggest a 180 grain bullet for the 300 RUM Sendero is the barrel weight and the velocity. Mine shoots a bit over 3350 in a 26" barrel and when you compare The trajectory and the energy at reasonable hunting distance. Most people take there Elk at 500 yards or less. Don't get me wrong, I like the bigger bullets but believe in working up in bullet weight to see what the barrel likes and shoots the best, rather than waist time and money, Not to mention barrel life only to find out that a barrel does not like heavy bullets. Start with the 180's and work up. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
