300 BST shot with my 24" 1895 and went through 3 jugs at 20 yards. 300 grainer was going 2460 fps. The load of 59.5gr H4198, Win cases, Fed 210M, and the 300gr BST is a very accurate load.

I was waiting for you to put that up! That should be labeled the Virginia deer slayer! I imagine it is going to have a very positive effect on the deer this year. Scotty :twisted:

Man, I can't wait to see it in action! It shoots really well in my Guide Rifle as well, just a little slower than Brian's. Scotty

That will flatten a deer right now.

Scotty, what kind of speed are you getting with this load in the Guide gun?

Yeah, Brian hit is spot on, about 2325 with the 300gr PT, and 2350 with the BST. Both shoot the same load and hit the same POI. Scotty

That load will work on deer. Good thing it isn't a 30 calibre from a 300 RUM, or the deer would outrun it and it'd bounce off.
