[QUOTE="tobehunted, post: 1163585, member: 14918"] I shoot the 190s with 94.5 gr of retumbo coming out at 3096 fps. Its really accurate but a tad on the warm side for my gun. My buddy shoots the 230 grainers out of his 300 RUM with H1000, that thing is just deadly accurate. Those 230 grainers seem to buck the wind a fair bit better than my 190s . I can see that when we are shooting a steel plate at 1000 yds. I have a 36 inch by 36 inch steel plate we practice on. I like the bigger plate painted white to see the hits easier at 1000 yds and the bigger plate is a help when the wind is blowing anywhere from 5 to 20 with gusts. Practicing with the wind blowing is a must. After a lot of shooting out there at 1000+ yds with some wind and you come back into 4 and 500 yds and its still out , those shots now seem so much easier ,or just we are so much more confident and we know our guns a lot better than someone who just shoots off 1 box of ammo before hunting season and calls it good. All that being said I try to stay at 700 and under ( unless its a coyote ) because im really comfortable at 700 and under and I don't want to wound anything ( unless its a coyote ) [/QUOTE]
