[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2110191, member: 52585"] I didn't really have time to read the entire thread so I'll just add my experience. I switched from 215s to 230s in a 30 nosler which is nearly a ballistic twin of the prc. I ran both to 3050 with H1k and no pressure signs. Both settled on 2950-75 for the best accuracy node. I feel they'll both run about the same speed due to similar bearing surface. It's only a 7% weight increase. I switched to the 230s due to hearing about a slightly thicker jacket resulting in less blow ups. I shot 5 animals with the 215 from 150-500 yards ranging from a cow elk to 150 pound white tail. No pass throughs. I've shot 10 animals this year with the 230s from a red hind at 610 to white tail from 150-500 all pass throughs. The only one to stick was a a large hog at 325 weighing 200 pounds with a 1 inch thick shield. I've seen this type animal stop a 180 ttsx. Both bullets are .5moa to 600 yards. The chunk of lung was from a 180 wt buck at 250 yards. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20201118_071224.jpg"]249936[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20201118_072003.jpg"]249941[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
