300 Norma: 215gr or 230gr hybrid?

[Winny94]

Starting to collect components and ammo and trying to decide if I should start with the 215 or 230gr hybrids. Is there a magically velocity number where 230s start out performing the 215 at 1000+?
I'm running a 30" tube.

Id pick 215 if starting new build..meaning get the proper twist for it and freebore...been playing with this cartridge for a while now.and my findings thats 215 is more accurate than 230..dont worry about 230 being higher bc the fps 215 will give you and accuracy will make it up(IMO)
And also. The 230 smk designs share same freebore as 215hyb..so you can always try that too

215s are tough to beat in the Norma, 225s were extremely accurate in mine also.

I've only tried the 215 but they are EXTREMELY accurate. Running 3045fps in a 27" barrel with H1000.

No first hand experience. But I've seen a lot more guys on here running the 215 in a WM/NM than the 230
