Berger bullets

That should do very well. Those need a bit of speed and that RUM will give it plenty of that.

I think I have enough twist; that was my concern..

Even a 9.5 will stabilize that bullet, I'm positive.

I used to shoot the 210 Berger in my 300 Norma Improved at 3225 fps but they were a little splashy on game at that speed. Likely fine around 3000-3050. I now shoot the 230 Berger’s at 3100 and very happy with them.

With the 210 VLDs, 3050 is the sweet spot in my 9 twist barrel, around 244k rpm.

That’s great testimony. And, an amazing shot. I’m aware of longer shots than that on Elk with Berger bullets, but I haven’t had an opportunity myself. I wouldn’t hesitate if I did…

I have Barnes LRX in 208 Grain I’m eager to try in my 300 RUM…

If you get a chance, could you report on their accuracy versus the Bergers. I've shot Barnes in a BPS inline but never had acceptable centerfire accuracy beyond 200 meters in a variety of cartridges/calibers.
