[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 847211, member: 10"] I would still think you would come pretty close. Broughton barrels tend to be pretty decent in velocity, I assume your rifle has a conventional throat length or is it set up as a single shot. Even with 27" barrel length, I would still think you will land right between 3100 and 3200 fps with top loads. Now you may only get 4-5 firings per case but that is not a HUGE deal with no fireforming needed. Ya 3325 fps is smoking. That 230 gr Berger is a pretty fast bullet, similar to the 300 gr version but even seems a bit easier down the bore. I would have loved to see them make a 250 gr version in 30 cal but I understand their resistance to make a bullet that may require a non standard twist rate in some chamberings. Personally, I think a 250 gr OTM would stay on point in a 1-10 twist out of anything the size of the RUM or faster. May be close but I think the larger magnums would do it. A 1-9 would certainly be enough. [/QUOTE]
