| I've used them and their FMJ 220 gr in the 06 for mule deer, worked just fine, full penetration on both shoulders with the roundnose and a large exit hole. They both stabilize just fine at 06 velocities out of a 10 inch twist, the FMJ is .100+ inch longer than the RN. |

| I run the Sierra 220 RN in my .300 mag (Stainless MKII as well) with excellent paper results (have yet to draw blood with 'em)...1/2" shot group when I was developing loads...3/4" "goofin' around" all day. I'm certain they'd do better than 1/2" given a more experienced shooter. |

| My dad has used them for elk in his '06 for about 50 years and has killed a bunch of elk with them. In his rifle they are still stabile at 400-yards. I would think they would work fine in a .300 Winchester. They do a great job on elk as long as the nut behing the trigger holds tight. Dave

| I shoot them in my 06 scout rifle 18 inch barrel 2240 fps. They have killed all I have shot with it.
I just happen to have a couple boxes layin g around I pick up in a trade. I thought what a great short range load. |

| Used them in my M700 30'06 in Africa in '97. They worked fine and were consistently accurate but seemed a little soft started @ 2450 fps. |
