[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 539424, member: 5219"] There was an article not too long ago where Bryan Litz and another shooter did extensive LR testing with the new 300 gr hybrids. The G7 BC was confirmed to be .419 As for worrying about them fitting the magazine.....I have a 300 RUM with a wyatt's mag box for a model 70 hunting rifle. I took a 338 RUM case and seated the bullet to fit mag box. While the bullet is deep into the case the bullet's bearing surface made total contact with the case neck. You can bet when my 300 RUM finally dies I'll rebore the existing barrel to 338 RUM and use this wonderful new Berger bullet. As a sidenote I am shooting this new bullet in a most unlikely chambering, a long throated 338 RCM. Recoil and velocity are very modest BUT the bullet shoots well and down range performance is amazing. Velocity with 57 gr of RL-17 is 2579 fps. Wind drift is amazing. This barrel should last a long long time. 308 win eat your heart out. older pic shows 300 gr sierra [IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/338RCMJuly182011002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/338RCMJuly182011001.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
