[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 2572580, member: 10582"] If you can’t run water over a handful of the cartridge of choice, shake it off and run it in your hunting rifle you are likely to have big problems at the wrong time. It just doesn’t make sense to try to run a handy short barrel hunting rifle at 26-28” barrel length velocities to me. I will say that I do really like Berger 210, and 215 at 2900-3000fps for killing. Last fall for an experiment I built a 22” 300wm and ran 180 grain bullets suppressed at 2850fps. My 10 year old son killed a Yukon moose and my daughter and I killed 6 elk dead as a door nail in crap weather. To each their own, but the ragged edge of too much pressure and hunting in snow and rain are not a great combination. [/QUOTE]
