[QUOTE="shooters, post: 1459256, member: 7769"] Thanks. A lot of this is fairly new to me so trying to pick up what I can here and there. As far as asking if the 212 will work. I don’t know if they will fit in the Christensen magazine at a decent length using the 212 and or if that barrel will stabilize that heavy of a bullet. A lot of this had me doing some thinking when I typed in the 180 Hammer bullet. It was the heaviest bullet weight I could shoot according to the Berger program. But it seemed all other heavier bullets over 200g would shoot just fine. So I started wondering if I would be wasting my time and money even trying the 212 ELDX. As far as realistic shots, hopefully under 600 yards. I would normally stick with the 200g but in September I’ll be back up in Alaska Moose hunting and just want to make sure I have as much HP as possible on a big bull. I’ve also heard from reputable/ knowledgeable members that if your shooting a 300 RUM, your not taking advantage of the caliber until you start shooting those heavier 210 and up bullets. [/QUOTE]
