The other question, of course, is why bother? A .300 WSM or .338-06 will easily get 2800 out of 200-grain, without having to lean on it hard.


Loony-ism I guess. A 200 NAB is 'show-off accurate' at 2700+ in my Sako Finnlight, but this requires 3gr over book. Tried the RL-22 and 200gr bullet, full case, not enough velocity, poor accuracy at least poor rifle range accuracy. I have not used this load for hunting, still using H-4350, 168TSX-BT @ 2885fps. Thinking that load might be a bit stiff, but is it as stiff as the 53gr RL-17/200gr load?
