Joel, that was very informative thank you. Do you still shoot the Big Baer or did you step up even more? 300 SMK at 3200 fps is really smokin.
'Solid' means a mono-metal copper bullet and 'solid core' bullet means a lead core jacketed bullet? Is that the correct interpretation of your use of these two terms?
Reuben,
I shot the C48's and C32's and used 98 gr of Retumbo for both. I didn't shoot the 48's to long ranges but they grouped a little better than the 48's which I did shoot to 1K. Velocity was close to 3450 out of a 26" Sendero. I'll be trying the 200 gr C22's as well in my 10" twist. I'm expecting to push them to over 3200 out of a 27" nitrided barrel. I was able to push 200 AB's to 3200 out of the Sendero. Depending on the Retumbo load results, I might try RL33 but suspect it may be a little to slow for them.
What was your load for the C22's?

30" barrels, twisted appropriately, 3,200 fps for both of the 300 grain CE, and the SMK.
