[QUOTE="jmden, post: 155896, member: 1742"] [b]Re: Heavy hunting bullet for 10 twist, 26\", 300RUM?[/b] Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm pretty happy with my load but I'm thinking that I want to use the heaviest bullet, best BC I can. What's the 'generally accepted' bc of the 210WC? I think I've been told on this forum that the 240MK may not stabilize in a 10 twist, even at RUM velocities--my sierra bullet chart recommends 9 twist for it. I'd be comfortable with using that bullet due to its weight and SD. The 220MK is not that great of a performer from what I've heard in general so I don't think I want to try that. Are there any other selections in this weight range that might do what I want them to do? One reason I'd like to use a heavier bullet is that from what I've been told here, US869 is likely more appropriate for a heavier bullet than the 200AB I'm using now. The load I have is working now, but I'm hoping I might get better consistency with US869 and a heavier bullet. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
