[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 156223, member: 319"] [b]Re: Heavy hunting bullet for 10 twist, 26\", 300RUM?[/b] [ QUOTE ] Sure would like to here from anyone out there that's put 240MK's (or similar) down a 26", 10 twist pipe in a 300RUM! [/ QUOTE ] I used them as much as any other in my factory 10 twist. Figure somewhere around 99-101 grains of US869 for around 2950 out of a 26" for a mild "summer safe" load. With a measured BC only in the .640 range, you aren't going to gain as much ballistically as you will with the sleeker 210's, but I still really like this load and bullet better than the 200 AB for two main reasons: 1) It's easily more accurate in my rifle (with two different barrels). 2) Better terminal performance. I have yet to find any bullet that'll penetrate as deeply while making as big a hole as the 240 SMK. It is simply devistating. [/QUOTE]
