Also remember that in order for the 155's to get the same length as the 175gr SMK they have to have that nice little air gap under the jacket.

I am not sure exactly what they would do on impact at 300WM velocities, but I know on steel at 800 from my .308 all I have left is a bit of the base. </div></div>

125 Nosler BT is good for varmits.....at high speed....try over 4000fps

Why not go 300Rum

Push a 168BT at 3600 fps in a 26" tube, 208 amax at 3100+ with out preasure, those 208 amax's also expand well even on deer at the longer distances

Cuz I can get a smokin' deal on a 700P.

I need to play with QL and run some numbers. I just really like the versatility of the .30 cal rifles.

My 300 rum started life as a 300WM but I reamed it to rum with a short throat to get the 208 amax in the mag....just need to make sure you either have the same size neck or set the barrel back a tad as the 300WM neck runs in to the Rum neck

I have actualy had many 30 cal rifles but have just gone 7mm for my cart around rig a Custom shop model seven (stil have the 300Rum and 308). It started life as a 350 rem mag then got barreled to 30-350 with a pencil barrel (pre my ownership) but I couldn't fit the good pills in the mag and a 7mmSAUM 24" barrel turned up.....now has less recoil and the 162 amax still has 1000ftlb of energy at 1000 yrds with 57.5 gr of RL17
