[QUOTE="Brent, post: 30309, member: 99"] 90gr Retumbo and the 200gr Accubond in my rifle is most accurate. COAL was 3.66" to fit in max, and that has some... .180" jump to the lands I think? This was the first load I tried and it shot so many smokin groups I never went up for more MV, just left it there, got my drops and verified the load and went hunting. FWIW, the same load in the 30-338 Lapua Imp was shooting just the same way, very accurate and I'm impressed with the bullets accuracy, also performance. We took two moose this year with the 300 Ultras using it. Both were close range shots, one at 200, one at 100 yds and put the bullet to the test. Bullet exited at 100 yards, bullet stopped under hide with a perfect mushroom at 200 yards retaining about 135gr as I remember. And that was after busting through one shoulder and two ribs. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Others have had good luck at up to about 94gr Retumbo with the bullet, I just never had time to go higher, and didn't need to, as I was still getting over 3000 fps at 90gr and was grouping so tight I didn't want to F&^# with it.
