[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 155915, member: 1403"] [b]Re: Heavy hunting bullet for 10 twist, 26\", 300RUM?[/b] I was using about a .625 BC for the 210g WC out of my 300 RUM. It matched up out to 1150 yards anyways... The Berger 210g VLD is right at about .645 which I've shot and tested as well to 1150 yards. It took about 1 MOA less adjustment for the 210g VLD vs. the 210g WC. Either bullet is fine IMO. I dont think you can go wrong with either one. The VLD's are certainly a bit cheaper though, and there BC's are just as good, if not better then the same weight Wildcats... I never did test the 240g SMK, so I cant help you there. I think a few guys here have shot them out of the factory 1 in10" twist though with no problems. I believe on the Lilja site, he says the 1 in 10" will stabilize the 240g, so I dunno, but probly pretty sure it would at RUM velocity. [/QUOTE]
