[QUOTE="jmden, post: 227682, member: 1742"] ----------------------- remman, Hope the hunting/shooting is going well. I don't believe I've seen loads with the 210 at or above 3200. 3200 was the max I felt comfortable with with a 200 AB and 109.5g of US869. Yep, 109.5g. I'm not saying that folks aren't pushing them that fast, I just haven't seen alot of data to that end. As far as my load. I'm not the only one on this board shooting 240's at or nearly at 3K. Do some looking. I figure if I'm getting 6+ firings out of most of the brass, I'm doing OK. Typically at or below .5 MOA out quite a ways in good conditions if I do my part. Muzzle energy is a valid comparison especially with known BC's. If muzzle energy is the same for two given loads, but one of the two bullets shot has a higher BC, the higher BC bullet will be slower to shed that energy arriving on target with more, right? That's all I'm saying...that's just basic LRH stuff we all do comparisons on. It's no secret that the LRH crowd will often select the heavy for caliber bullets for BC and long range retained energy. The 240 has the 210 beat in both categories from what little I've seen. Not by a tremendous amount, mind you, but if they work, you know, shoot 'em, right? [/QUOTE]
