[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5284956, member: 12599"] The only way to know how your rifle will shoot the 150’s is to try them. Not what you wanted to hear I’m sure. In a high velocity cartridge like the 300 WM, I’d be leery of taking close shots with those 150’s. Maybe on out there at some distance they’ll hold together fine, but I’d check the recommended velocity impact window of that bullet first. In a 30/06, .308, and so on where velocities are held to under 3,000 fps I’m sure most cup and core 150’s hold together better. In the 300 WM I’d stick with 180’s minimum, or move to monometal.
