140 gr. Partitions over your favorite powder concoction will put em in the freezer. As always, Shot placement is most important component.

Going to try RL-15 37 gr, Noslet Accubond 160 gr 2520 fps. Ballistic Coefficient .531At 2500 fps. 1622 fps at 600yds. Thats a lot of knock down from 0 to 600yds.

That is pushing past .338 WM territory.4. You will get much better performance out of 140 gr. bullets. 5. Varget, and Win. 760 are much better powders for that cartridge.
