[QUOTE="STL_Shooter, post: 46099, member: 888"] I'm curious as to exactly which powder, with acceptable temperature sensitivity, in a barrel throated to allow seating to the lands, with decent brass life, is going to be used to push a 145g bullet 3400-3450 out of that skinny tube? I know of some hot, hot long-barreled 6.5 WSMs that'll push a 123g Scenar 3400 with Retumbo, but'd never even come close with the 140 grainers. In the real world, performance is measured by more than just velocity - it's safe pressures, decent brass life, stable loads at a range of temperatures... So, the real-world performance of these cartridges will indeed be interesting... b1g_b0re, lose the lightweight bullets and try a 190 to 220 grain bullet with high ballistic coefficient in that 300 RUM. If you can shoot it accurately - you'll have a top-notch long range slayer. [/QUOTE]
