Heavy hunting bullet for 10 twist, 26\", 300RUM?
I apologize if this has been discussed. I did search and did not come up with the info I was looking for. Maybe someone that knows where it is can direct me? Thank you.
What is the heaviest, best BC hunting bullet that will stabilize and perform well on elk from 40 yds to 800 yds with 300RUM velocities? I'm tossing a 200AB at 3200 at the moment using US869 at 109g so it's going to need to be enough better to be worth my time and expense (short supply these days) to work up another load. I'd like to keep on using 869. I've have several pounds of Retumbo and RL25, but have been unimpressed at how quickly Retumbo pressures out with this weight bullet--3050 or so was the best I could get with 200AB and Retumbo.
I've heard mention of the 210WC--pics anyone? BC numbers on the 210WC? Will it stabilize in a 10 twist 300RUM? Any other heavier hunting bullets that will stabilize in a 10 twist at 300RUM velocities?
I'd really like to get Kirby's 300AX and toss some 265 WC or similar, but will have to wait a while for that...
Thanks for the help/replies!
