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?
 
Well, I have my chassis and trigger, but I fear my wait for my Carbon Six barrel I ordered a couple weeks ago will be very long. My entire Super WSM depends on that...the rest is easy to get. Will order my action...and then sit and wait.

Placed an order today for everything to load 100 rounds in some Lapua brass with H4831SC.

Half of me wants to order a steel barrel somewhere to shoot this summer while I wait!
