Does anyone have any experience with this round? I am looking for a proprietary round to shoot out of my300wm for target and use for long range hunting. What are you reloaders opinions of the quality of this bullet as a hunting round in specific on expansion and tissue destruction. Is it impressive bc it's big, but is it overkill? Is the mk248mod1 or a vld or amax in the 200-220 range better?

I am looking for a round for the 300wm that is over 200gr and provides the sweet spot for velocity, deadliness, wind deflection resistance, and 1000yard + ability.

I shoot a:
300wm AICS
26 inch 6 groove barrel
Stiller action 700 clone
NF optics
Surgeon bolt knob

Recommendations?
