[QUOTE="Antelopequest270, post: 1426879, member: 103900"] One of my good buddy's picked up new Remington 700 AWR in 300 RUM w/ 1/10 twist today. Any new rifle to him, means I get to do load development and put loads together for him (in return, he provides his pack stock for hunts - its a fair trade...lol) Anyways, this will be his all purpose rifle that he wants to have the ability to reach out and touch an elk out to the 600-800 yard range if needed. Also will hunt mule deer with it. Also, we sometimes will pop over a basin and have shots as close as 200 yards. Knowing this, what bullet would you start loading around? I was thinking the 212 ELD-X...Possibly step back into a 200 grain accubond for a bit of toughness in case of a shorter range shot? What type of velocity can be expected from the 212 hornady with a 26" 5 r barrel within reason? [/QUOTE]
