What cartridge for high speed 30 caliber

[TXAoudadKlr]

My 300 Raptor just turned 3380fps with the 245gr Berger with Peterson Brass and 20n29
That's 6200ftlbs

we found the 245 eol came apart at 3350 in our 8 twist had to slow them down to 3250

I have an 8.5 maybe that's enough to keep them alive

Do you have a 30 STW and does it meet the OP's goal? I am asking is because I have an improved version with a 27" Lilja 1:9" 3G barrel and would like to know how to get there or close to it.

I miss read it. I had 3000fps in my head.

 

[TXAoudadKlr]

Well, the big Berger's survived the 1:8.5 at 3380FPS and went sub 1/2 moa

Thanks. I had a .30-278 back when I was even more ignorant than I am now. That was about forty years ago. I used 150 grain bullets so fast none ever got to a target. It had a beautiful myrtle wood stock. It was hanging on the mantle above the fireplace when the house burned down. Life is rough sometimes.

The 30 STW was done long ago and was known as the "300 Arnold"
