I am currently shooting a 300 Win Mag with 212gr Hornady Eld-x’s and they are devastating on deer but in my experience they blow up and retain less weight than I’d like resulting in a lot of blood shot meat. Has anyone tested the scirroco 2 bullets through bone or say 1” thick wood in front of...

I am thinking about experimenting with Reloader 22 in my 300 Win. Mag. shooting 212 ELD-X's and would like to know if anyone would have a good idea as to where to start loading up from? Most material I found online showed loads with 71-73 grains in the heavier bullet weights similar to mine so...

Yeah I’m in Missouri so the elevations I’m hunting in are anywhere from 450-800ft so the Berger calculator shows it in the marginal stability section. If I were in higher elevations that would clearly help. I guess the adjusted B.C. is still high enough to try it which I didn’t realize when I...

Yeah I agree on the ballistic calculators, found out the 200 Eld-x seems to have a higher B.C. than advertised which is already high, not complaining but I have to do some guess work and more playing to figure it out. I may go ahead and buy a box of the 212’s to try out.
