[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1559087, member: 74670"] So I have a custom 28 Nosler with a Proof Carbon barrel and match long throated chamber and love it. I shoot 175 gr Hornady ELD-X's using 87 grs of RL33 at 3152 fps giving low velocity Standard Deviations and sub 1/2" groups at 100. But the thought of possibly shooting the 37 gr heavier 212 gr Hornady ELD-X 30 caliber bullet, close to the same speed out of a 28 Nosler sized case, is kind of exciting. My interest in that was rekindled when the 300 PRC was announced. My initial limited view is the 300 PRC (there isn't much data except for the factory loadings) will run this weight bullet at 30 Nosler speeds which is around 3000 fps. However I learned from this site of the existence of the 300 PRC Sherman Improved (SI) cartridge. I'm thinking that the 300 PRC SI and the 30-28 Nosler are candidates for running the 212 gr bullets at 3100+ without having to go to the massive 300 RUM. I just need to validate it through research or this forums help. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
