30 cal bergers

Recommended Posts

Curious to why you are getting rid of these?  I'm about to start some load development with these in my 300 RUM and would like to know your thoughts about these bullets...

If I can interject here, I have experience in with the Berger 30 cal. 245 gr. bullet in 300 PRC. 300 RUM, 300 Norma Mag, and 30-378 Weatherby. I hope you have an 8 twist barrel in the rifle you're planning on using this in. Another thing to consider are you ready for the slower powders and the slower speeds that this bullet is going to require and give you? I can only say the 30/378 is the only case that gave me the best speed, about 2800-2900 fps. In the RUM and the Norma it's more like 2700fps. With that said are you willing to settle for those speeds when you could be shooting a 210-215 grain class at a faster speed with less drop and more stability out of a 1-9 twist? Frankly deer or elk ain't going to know the difference, they're not that smart! 😉 Let me just add that they are great bullets in the right rifle and in the right brass case!
