Anybody shoot the 30 cal Berger EOL 245gr yet?

Recommended Posts

Beast of a bullet, curious if anyone has a rifle that is shooting these well and what caliber?

I know Lance was shooting 230's out of a RUM.  Seems the 245 is going to require one of the big, big cartridges.  I am asking because I keep kicking around a .338 build but these big .30s are starting to get my attention.

I would think the 300 RUM could push them fast enough? What is the minimum twist for the 245 gr?

I've got a reamer going right now for the 245g in my 300 Norma mag/35 degree. I'm doing a 1000 yard benchrest rifle on my BAT M action as well as a hunting rifle with the new Bartlien barrel steel. One year wait but gotta love that big carrot out in front of me!
