300 RUM 150gr E-Tip Bullet

[Bubbajoe]

Has anyone reloaded this combo would like to know how it did on game.

 

[FOTIS]

Not with the Etip but with the Btip. 3600 fps with RL22 and 1.25" at 300 yards from my 75 Sako.

Not yet, but I would expect it to be a great combo.

I leave the 150's home with the .308 win. The huge boiler room on the RUM case just cries out for heavy bullets.

I've never fired anything lighter than the 190 SMK in my RUM. Maybe I just enjoy the recoil. :lol:

I'm with Charlie on this one. Heavy bullet will have plenty of energy downrange, damage less meat and has better ballistic than lighter bullet.

I would love to use the 150's as a varmint round.

I already use the 180gr AccuBond at 3385fps and have shot the 165gr AccuBond at 3600+. With 180gr recoil is stff I picked the 150gr E-tip to shot flatter than the 180gr and less recoil. All my shots are around 400+ yrds.

Well if all your shots are 400 plus yards, you really need to not worry about how flat something shoots, rather how much wind drift and energy and remaining velocity on target you have. Drop is easy to calculate, wind not so much. Reguardless of how fast/flat somethign shoots, its not a lazer, they still drop. Dont get caught up on velocity. The more you shoot at LR, the more you'll figure out why people use heavy for caliber bullets and not light bullets...Your hit ratio will be greatly increased at LR with heavy bullets.

Stick with your 180's...

If the kick bothers you that much, get a different recoil pad or muzzle brake, or get a smaller caliber.

Remmy is spot on, I concur.

This is the voice of reason and experience. I add my vote to the growing consensus.
