[QUOTE="Broz, post: 937671, member: 7503"] I have tested and shot the 210, 215 and 230's in many different chamberings. The 215 I feel is the go to bullet for a 30 cal up to the size of the 300 win mag. It works very well for target and hunting and what I swear by for my 300 wins. But if I have more case capacity than a 300 win I would opt for the 230 to get all the BC I can and to get away from some of the expansion at close distances with a 215 over 3100 fps MV. If you have the ability to push them the 230 is awesome. They were a killing machine even in the 300 wins we tested them in. Plus with the 230 you have two designs that allow you to choose between a BC of .718 and .743. These choices have a bit different jacket thickness and let you choose the bullet that will preform best at the distances you would be shooting. So in short with a rifle like yours I would go with the 230 over the 215 as long as I had adequate twist rate like a 1 in 10. I feel if your rifle shoots the 210 well, as it does, it will shoot the 215 or the 230 equally well or even better. Jeff [/QUOTE]
