[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1496601, member: 21446"] Hodgon load data was tested in Sammi chambers and throats, it is conservative when it comes to max loads listed as it should be. My example was based on guys using custom chambers that are throated long. If a person is shooting a rifle with a Sammi chamber under 1000 yards then the 190 is a good choice. But when you say regaurdless of distance, past 1000yards to shoot the 190gr over the 215 will give lower impact velocitys, longer TOF, more wind drift, lower impact energies, and decrease your cold bore hit percentage. That does not make sense to me. Despite the velocity generated from the muzzle with the lighter bullet, at distance that velocity will be outran and slower than the heavy bullet that started out slower at the muzzle. I agree, the 215 is on the heavy side for the 300 magnums. Heavy bullets and long range shooting/hunting go well together. Sorry OP Im a little off topic. [/QUOTE]
