Anybody shoot the 30 cal Berger EOL 245gr yet?

Beast of a bullet, curious if anyone has a rifle that is shooting these well and what caliber?

I know Lance was shooting 230's out of a RUM.  Seems the 245 is going to require one of the big, big cartridges.  I am asking because I keep kicking around a .338 build but these big .30s are starting to get my attention.

I would think the 300 RUM could push them fast enough? What is the minimum twist for the 245 gr?

I thought is was 1:8 from info on other forums, some were 1:9

I wonder about 300prc

I have a box to try in my 300 blk ,,, should slow it down enough for no bang bang noise out of the can. !!!!

I was also wondering about the 300 prc

Ballistics, case capacity of the 300 PRC are much closer to the 300 Win Mag than the 300 RUM or 300 Norma Mag.

I've got a reamer going right now for the 245g in my 300 Norma mag/35 degree. I'm doing a 1000 yard benchrest rifle on my BAT M action as well as a hunting rifle with the new Bartlien barrel steel. One year wait but gotta love that big carrot out in front of me!
