[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 165931, member: 313"] "Why are match bullets 168grains?" They aren't. 308 diameter match bullets come in almost any weight. Sierra makes 308 match bullets up to 240gr. Many shooters prefer the 200gr-220gr weight bullets for their 300RUM. Most 168gr match bullets were probably made with the .308 Winchester cartridge in mind. With the huge case capacity of the RUM cartridges, I see no advantage to using the lighter .308 diameter bullets. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
