[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1672136, member: 5219"] For what it worth, a friend asked me to make a heavy bullet load for his Browning A-bolt in 300 WSM. This is a lightweight rifle with a short barrel of 22" with a BOSS and a 2.8" magazine. I stuffed some 230s in the cartridge so deep we joked it was sitting on the flashhole. Worked up to 61 gr of RL-17 and got an accurate load with velocity of 2735 fps. This is before the 215s hit the market. If I were to make another load for that rifle or any other 300 WSM I would choose the 215 Berger hybrid. In case anyone thinks the 215 hybrid target bullet is not a good idea read Broz's account on its performance. This is a very long thread with many kills. Distance, impact velocity, entrance and exit holes are shown. There is no doubt of the abilities of this bullet: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/comparing-the-berger-210-vld-to-the-215-hybrid.88657/page-6[/URL] [/QUOTE]
