[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1298825, member: 70559"] SaulReichman, You don't have to be concerned using the Barnes 127 grainer up close. I made a wildcat based on the .300 and 7mm RUM. I necked it to 6.5 and pushed the shoulder back to match the .338 RUM. This gave me a longer neck so the barrel will last a little longer. I shot two deer about 50 yards distance. No problem. They also work at longer range. I shot an antelope at over 400 and it worked wonderfully. On that same trip my son-in-law shot one at about 175 yards running Nolser Accubond 140 starting at 3,419 feet per second. Excellent results. [/QUOTE]
