RancherI have a Hart barreled '06 that I'm loading Barnes Tripple X
168's to 2,950 fps with R22. That without excessive preasure signs. I've had a couple of
.300 WM's in the past and in those 2,950-3,000 was a decent load with 180's.. I have hunted quite a bit and I doubt that an animal could tell the difference between the two !!
