Velocity or Powder Charge? In my case I have gathered all the parts to build a .300 RUM except for the XLR chassis I am saving for.
So for example,if I load a 230 Berger with an amazing BC of .743 by the way, to say around 2800 FPS, will that give me an appreciably longer barrel life than a lighter bullet at over 3,000FPS? Or is the large powder charge going to eat the throat away regardless and I should load to get every bit of performance out of it?
Thanks,
