[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1048351, member: 7503"] I base my choices of drift inside the area I will take game with a 30 cal. I don't see me taking many elk past 1000 with a 30 as long as I have a big cased 338 to hunt with. Game I do take out there past 1000 like the antelope at 1285 are smaller and in the wide open. My 28" 300 win sends the 215 @ 3035 fps and has seen 3050 before I backed it down a tad. We have seen more than one 300 win with 215's from a 26" barrel get real close to 3000. There are several owners on this site too. As for the 230's at 2850 it is surely possible. We stopped just under pressure signs at 2775 from a 28" tube. They shot amazingly well so we looked no further. There is surely more people here that have spent more time than I with 230's in a 300 win. So 2850 could surely be possible. I just have not heard much of it from 300 wins. There are some other differences in these two bullets in the tip area that affects terminal performance characteristics. I am still doing some research on that. Jeff [/QUOTE]
