[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2330272, member: 106845"] Right. I fully understand and you’ve done well to put yourself and your load within both your limits. That same load would hit the 2200fps mark at 700 yards. Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m only wanting to give a comparison here because I think it’s interesting to ponder. So that load going 4220fps out of a pretty large cartridge (300 RUM) using I’m sure a good amount of powder, is giving you exactly what you need for that bullet for your 500 yard limit, which it great, but I dare say it just seems inefficient to me. Mind you, I do understand it effectively has to be in order to produce the required end result with that type of bullet. In comparison though, my 195gr TMK load in my 308, at 2700fps, hits 1400fps (the minimum impact velocity I use for that bullet) just over 1050 yards. It’s quite cheap and easy to load for as well. Mind you, that load does require more elevation adjustment than yours, but that’s a simple hold or dial. This are just things I think about. Im not saying one is better than the other. That’s obviously down to a lot of personal opinion and I already know yours 😉. [/QUOTE]
