[QUOTE="jmden, post: 557905, member: 1742"] Alot of guys have talked here over the years about getting 3200 fps MV with the 200AB or similar in a 300RUM. I'm not saying it can't happen, but for me in my 26" barreled 300RUM, 3075 fps MV or so is max. A 210 Berger is right around 3K fps MV max for me--unless I only want one or two firings per case. I may have a slow barrel and the others may have a fast and/or longer barrel. A 300 RUM is one of those highly overbore cartridges that could really use a 30" or longer barrel to truly see it's potential. I forget the name of the smith now that I talked to a couple of times. He's the guy the came up with the 300 Tomahawk (300 RUM Imp.--'bout another 100fps in simlar lenght barrels with that number going up the longer the barrel, to a point) that was all the rage a number of years ago--never hear about it now. He refused to make the Tomahawk in less than a 30" barrel. [/QUOTE]
