[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1446776, member: 12995"] Since we're talking .30 calibers in here... Went and shot my .300 Ackley yesterday to sight it in with the HS-T 6-24x50 MRAD, and for some load development with the Berger 210's and 7977... So far, at 83.0 grains It's averaging 2,942 FPS MV, and an ES of 14, and an SD of 7 (according to my MSv2). This load is also putting 3 in the same ragged hole. I have heard the 215's are actually faster than the 210's because of the shorter bearing surface, so I might get some more of those and try them. I've never compared the 2 side-by-side with the same load and powder charges. If I ever go elk hunting, I know what I'll be taking. :cool: [/QUOTE]
