[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2622246, member: 52585"] I'm running a sammi spec 30 nosler in a 26 inch barrel and 230s over H1k. I'm at about max powder capacity without using a drop tube. I'm running the 230s at 2980 for best accuracy and hit 3050 on a ladder test. Is it that far off to think a 245 with a hotter powder wouldn't be knocking on the door of 3k? Having said that, if I wanted a non Lapua bolt faced 33 I'd think hard about a 28-33 Nos throated for VLDs. In reality, it's just not enough for 300's to really perform IMO and a 245 berger (30) / 250 berger (33) is a wash with the exception of a little more BC from the 245. [/QUOTE]
