That is an excellent group for a hunting rifle and evidence of good load development and shooting. However, you do understand that group--even if it was a 5-shot group--would be about dead last in a...

Please don't think that I am disparaging the kind of shooting you are doing. It is a different game than LR BR. The fact that you have settled on a 160 Accubond helps make my point that ultra high...

Well, I have seen slower twist barrels shoot better. The faster you spin it the more chance there is of flight path departures due to the longitudinal axis of the bullet not being colocated with the...

I know what the theory is, but in practial application theory sometimes falls short. Long for caliber bullets with reasonably high BCs, yes. Exceptionally high BCs, no.

It's not a matter of just adding twist to stabilize the extra long bullets. If it was, ever 1000 yd BR competitor would be using bullets with the highest BCs they could find. They aren't. Most of...

All three are excellent rounds. The 338 is porbably better for larger animals.

Bergers have a more accurate BC? Hmmm. When I shot 1000 yd BR from 2005 to 2007, Berger BCs were understood to be definitely oversated. Now I seemed to get pretty close when I used Sierra's...

Both the 300 RUM and the 30-378 eat barrels. With 26" barrels, there isn't a lot of different in velocity between the two. The RUM has the advantage of no freebore, and relatively inexpensive...

I think the 30 cal 150 is a more frangible bullet and was built with the 308 and 30-06 in mind. If that is still the case, and 300 Wby/300 RUM velocities it would all but come apart. However, I...

Exactly. The amount of tissue damage is much more of a factor of frangibility than diameter. A 150 grain, 30 cal Ballistic Tip impacting at 3200 fps will be a grenade on a deer; while a 400 grain,...
