My Black Shadow 300 has a 26' bll. BUT I have not rung it out with handloads YET.

My M 70 Super Grade has a 24" barrel and with RL-26 and a 150 grain NP it's getting 3070 fps. Maybe next year I can get a oryx tag and I'll try the Super Grade on one. wink


About 15yrs ago a friend and his daughter drew WSMR Oryx tags. Buddy has a 7Rem that he shoots for everything, she'd been shooting a 243Win for everything (deer and pronghorn) and they wanted a bit more for the Oryx. I let her borrow my 270Win shooting 140gn TSX. It was a very deadly combo for Oryx.

Congrats to the young lady! A .270 Win with proper bullets will handle game like oryx, elk, moose, kudu..... etc
