AlstroGS custom 180grnFN
Just wondering if anyone has tried these in a 300RUM. I would think they would go about 3500 fps in a 26.5" barrel and be pretty effective on vary large game. Any input?

AlstroNot the velosity derectly, but by the way the bullet is designed. The bullet compresses instead of mushrooming, which would give it more support.

Because of this support, i would think the bullet would be less likely to fail, but to compress the bullet enough to get a wide frontel area, you have to drive them fast. I was just wondering if anyone had used these at all, and i was hoping to hear from the guys in africa. I just don't want to order them and wait 6 months, just to find out it won't work. I don't think its a perfect answer to big game, eg, bison, but if this is what you have, will it be effective.
awe, it screwed up my scetches
