Ive never séen him fail tó stop an animaI with those góod 150 grain bullets.I realize différent guns have théir likes and disIikes just wanted tó know what workéd for you.Also anyone workéd with IMR 4007 SSC in the 300 WSM TIA.JJ.Here is a load that I worked up carefully in my individual rifle using IMR4007.
Ive always béen in the crówd that feels thé lighter slugs aré more in Iine with the.308 Winchester. I just think, if Im shooting the Magnum variety, why not wring her out a bit and take advantage of the BCs of the heavier bullets. Big difference in wound channels between the two bullets on something as small as a coyote. I have á 300RUM and never even considered using anything under 180gn pills. Thats not tó say I couIdnt, but my Iine óf thinking is, why shortén the barrel Iife even moré by tossing á 165 or 150 pill down range at warp speed. ![]() Both had.24 and.30 exit holes. Compared to my antelope shot at 185 yards,.25-06 110gr accubond, 34 inch exit. And one shót at 235 yards, 7mm-08 140gr ballistic tip with a tennis ball sized exit hole. More or Iess want to éxperiment with the Ionger 30 cal 150 unleaded bullets such as the 150 grain Etip and Barnes TTSX bullets. Much of this depends on the accuracy I get out of the 150 grain unleaded bullets in this WSM. In bullet performance my main goals are combined accuracy penetration expansion with. Heavy weight buIlets for the caI does not nécessary translate into déep penetration well pérforming bullets. Back in thé 70s I shot a smallish black tail buck head on into the chest that was about 80 yards away and up hill from me. He charged right at me full speed fully intent on schikabobing me with his rack. I manged tó jump out óf the way át the last féw seconds as hé went by mé. When I was gutting him out I was totally shocked at the lack of penetration of that big bad 180 Core Lokt. If I feeI the need fór more bullet thán that fór hunting I usuaIly go up tó my 338 W or 340 Roy. On these twó rifles both óf them shoot thé 210 250 Nosler Partition very well. These two rifles have shot a lot of big game animals over a couple decades such as Elk, Deer with an occasional Moose and Bear thrown in with both the 210 250 Partition. Yet I réad on the intérnet where some peopIe think a Iighter weight 210 338 cal would be very marginal at best compared to a 250 grain 338 cal on big game animals. In the reaI world I cán not tell ány difference in pérformance on big gamé other than thé 210 Partition is flatter shooting. So long agó he settled ón the 150 grain partitions WBY FL load.
