[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 101081, member: 10"] JD338, To be honest all those bullets in the pic have lead right to the tip. The 300 and 350 gr ULD RBBT have a finer meplat whereas the 252 and especially the 325 have more of an exposed lead tip. The 325 had the widest meplat of them all but again, this is a game bullet, a serious game bullet!! Not sure what it would do in the RUM. If I had to guess I would say 2700 fps or around there. When you figure a 375 H&H will do 2600 fps with a 300 gr bullet, thats some pretty serious big game taking ability even if you are limited to 2600 fps. I suspect you could break this level easily though with at least a 26" barrel. That is just an educated guess though so take it for what you will. These babies are waiting for a ride in the 338 AM where I will be looking for 3400 fps in the 40" pipe!!! That will be just for testing purposes, for serious work I am only looking at the 350 gr ULD RBBT and maybe a 375 gr ULD RBBT if I can talk my good friend into humoring me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!
