[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1194284, member: 77249"] Last year I got 2 boxes of the GMX 165gr. 30 cal. and tried them in my 300WSM. I was wanting to use them on a Moose hunt. My object was, If I could get good accuracy they would retain more weight than my GO TO bullet, Nosler 180 gr. Partition. I recovered a Nosler 180 30 cal. from a New Mexico Elk and it weighed 113 gr. with the front lead gone. The GMX are actually longer by .172 than Nosler 180gr. Partitions. They did not shoot good out of my rifle. 3" at 100 yds. I believe my rifle does not have enough twist in the rifling for this long bullet. I have obtained some Nosler E-Tip 168 gr. that have a shorter ogive and shorter overall length. Will load and test shortly. Hunt to Newfoundland this Oct. [/QUOTE]
