Shooting the 230 OTM at 3075 fps from my 300 NMI and plan to use it this year for a cow elk tag I have. Worked just fine on a buddies bear at a bit over 350 yds today. Shot broadside in the shoulder crease which was bang flop with about a 2.5” exit.

As to the OP unless I was set on the .30’s I would rebarrel with a 1:8 7mm barrel of choice throated to run the 180 eld’s with room in the mag to chase the lands. Have owned a handful of 7’s so chambered and had no issues getting over 3k with Retumbo or R26

Thanks MA. I think I could use them and was going to this year, but I had issues getting ahold of any extra for the year, so I scrubbed them off the plate. Maybe this coming year I'll make a conscious effort to try them out.
