[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 2061947, member: 20643"] One of the reasons I went to a lower node is so it was easy for my wife and them to shoot on the elk hunt. They don't shoot lightweight magnums often and I knew that it would probably be 500-600 yd shots. Making it kick like a 6.5 creedmoor made sense for that hunt. Also follow up shots if needed would be easy for them. I have a load that shoots at 3050 as well. The other benefit to the lower node is there is almost zero throat erosion with it. Like .003 every 100 rounds. The brass will never wear out either. Youll get well over 30 firings. Also with that load with Retumbo it shot .9" vertical at 580 yds with an ES of 1 fps for 4 shots right before we took it on the hunt. Its stupid accurate and easy to shoot. Pushing a 30-28 nosler or 30 nosler with a 230 at 2950 won't allow the brass to last forever. [/QUOTE]
