Vortex Youtube channel recently posted a couple vids on using the Barnes 212 LRX Bore Rider bullet for 300WSM but in a long action due to the extreme length of the bullet/cartridge length.
Although they did not give any specifics of the powder type, charge weight, or even primer/brass, they showed screenshots of the Geo Ballistics app with a 100yd velocity of 2697 fps and a 1000yd velocity of 1713 fps.
I have a love of the 300WSM and if I could go from 1536 fps at 1000yds with a 175 grain bullet to 1713 fps with a 212 grain bullet I am all in.
Just wondering aloud what powder could be used to approximate their velocities in a 300 SWSM using that weird/cool 212 Bore Rider bullet?
