[QUOTE="jmden, post: 227585, member: 1742"] Hi Eaglet, We've exchanged load info before, but I don't recall yours. Load a 240 into your program at 3005 fps and you'll get around 4800 ft. lbs. of energy. ( Edit: I'm on my 6th or 7th load on these cases at the moment with 104.5 g US869 and the 240 right on the lands (Wyatt's mag box) and I'm down to 19 cases out of the orignial 28. Still holding primers, but decided this time around to use the Hart tool to help hold the primers better.) This is out of my stock 26" barrel. What speed does the 210 have to be going to top 4800 ft. lbs. as the muzzle? Exbal shows that it takes about 3210 fps with the Berger to top 4800 ft. lbs. of energy. Are folks shooting the Berger 210 at 3210 fps in stock 300 RUM 26" barrels? That seems a bit high to me. Even if they match energy at the muzzle, the Berger is losing that energy faster than the 240, right? [/QUOTE]
