[QUOTE="Broz, post: 901690, member: 7503"] If you feel that velocity will work I have to ask why not go with a 300 win? The selection of brass and availability is larger than any other. No forming or head stamp issues. You can get 2900 up to 3035 FPS with H-1000 and the 215 depending on barrel length. I like a 10 twist and 5 or 6 groves for this bullet and the performance on game has been totally awesome for us. However if you choose to go with the 230 sized bullet I like them in a larger case better. We have been shooting them in a 300 win @ 2775 fps for a few years now and they have stacked up game from antelope to large bull elk. But I just feel the 215 is a better match for a 300 win. If I were going to build a large cased 300 today for the 230's, I would use a custom action, pull the stops and go with a 30-338 Lapua. Why not utilize the best brass I have ever loaded and have the potential to push it if I so desire. If I was to do it in a factory 700 Rem action I would just do a 300 RUM and not load it to kill the brass. But after owning all of these I am very happy with my old 300 win pushing 215's to 3035. It is one of if not the best hunting rifles I have owned in 30 plus years of hunting. And the release of the 215's made it that way. Jeff [/QUOTE]
