[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 339641, member: 11717"] Trevor, I would be surprised if you are getting that based on my own results with the 210's and H4350 - unfortuneately I have not loaded H4350 with the 210's though - and I may be wrong. I would expect about 250 fps less form the 210 Bergers than the 180 E-Tips which is my experience with RL17. 2935 vs 3193. With H4350 I'm getting about 2995 with e 180 E-Tips which is very close to what a lot of manuals would say is expected out of a 300 WSM shooting a 180 bullet. Maybe a little on the high side, but my load is probably a little warm. That being said, I just find it hard to believe that a 210 bullet would get within 200 fps of a 180 bullet. My guess is that your actual velocity is about 2750 give or take. But that's just a guess and I might be wrong. I'm also assuming you're shooting a 24" barrel. As for your actual POI being a little higher than expected, it's hard to say why that happened but there's probably a good explanation. If your zero is @ 100 yds is just a little off, that will have a bigger effect down range. That's one reason I like doing load work @ 200-300 yds and I zero my rilfes @ 300 yds for velocites of 3200 fps or more. I use the 300 yd range to zero slower loads at the proper drop for a 200 or 250yd zero. In anycase, it's not going to make a whole lot of diff at 400 yds, but it will start adding up the farther out you go. And once again, I could be wrong, but if I am, it seems to me that you have one fast barrel. Mark [/QUOTE]
