[QUOTE="TH, post: 1849639, member: 1046"] I had a 300 Thunderhulk. It was a 408 Case shortened and necked down to the same dimensions as the 300 Norma Mag with an improved shoulder. My rifle had a 33 inch barrel. I was able to push a 215 Berger over 3600 FPS with H1000. My accuracy load I was shooting 3578 FPS. I also tested the 230 Berger and was able to shoot that over 3400 FPS. I only tested this rifle to 1 mile but what I will say is the 215 in my rifle was flatter and more accurate at 1 mile than the 230s. There are lots of good bullets out there but there comes to a point that you really don’t need to shoot the heaviest highest BC bullets out there how far do you really want to shoot? Another thing you want to look at is.......you do want to run an efficient case where there isn’t a lot of extra case space because there really isn’t a lot of really slow temp stable powders out there to choose from.
