[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 503702, member: 13632"] LTLR, I've been shooting the 165 Matrix ballistics bullets. They have been outstanding so far, I can easily run them 3050 fps out of my WSM and I've been using a G1 BC of .650 and it has been close enough to be on target to 1435yrds so far, I need to refine the BC after the barrel gets back from Nitriding but it seems to be in that range. The Nitriding should let me run in the 3100-3150 range comfortably from the sounds of it. Your right the 300 RUM should be superior, but if you load a ballistic brick into it you effectively castrate a cartridge like the 300RUM. It was more a response to a previous post where the 30 cal was considered a minimum but the load was with a 180 TSX which can easily be out ranged IMO, only a response to that, not a general statement for sure! 300 RUM 180 TSX @ 3470 300yrd zero at 5612ft 10 mph wind 800yrd= 2044fps 1670 ftlbs 10.8 moa path 4.4 moa wind 1000yrds= 1746fps 1219 ftlbs 17.2 moa path 6.0 moa wind 270 WSM 165 Matrix @ 3053 800yrd= 2095fps 1608ftlbs 12.2 moa path 3.4 moa wind 1000yrd= 1883fps 1299ftlbs 18.6 moa path 4.5 moa wind [/QUOTE]
