[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 227634, member: 1403"] jmden I believe he is meaning at LR the 210's have more energy, not muzzle energy. Whats muzzle energy got to do with anything really?? Dont think theres to many animals shot at the end of the barrel... If you can get a 240g SMK going 3000fps in a stock 26" bbl, 3200fps should be about max for a 210g in a 26" stock bbl. Hard to believe your getting 3000fps from a 240g IMO. However its probly because your using US869. If you were to use that with 210's, I'm sure you could reach 3200fps. Not knocking the 240g SMK or your load by any means BTW. I haven't run the numbers in quite a while (couple years since I had my 300 RUM) to verify actually which is better ballistically at LR, so I cant say for sure which out performs which. I might give it a quick gander though to see for myself. My stock 26" 300 RUM liked the 210's at a slow 3000fps. Thats where the accuracy was. I could push them to 3100 with H-1000 but not as good accuracy. I'm sure with Retumbo or US869, I could've reached 3200fps, but would probly be a warm load. [/QUOTE]
