    This conversation seems to have moved to more about the projectile than the cartridge.
    Why don't you guys run these big projectiles in something like a 220 Swift or 22 250. And really light them up?
    Overkill is still dead.

    This is what I am doing, will end up a a bit quicker than a 220 swift but I will limited to the 75 eldm (maybe 80) due to the twist of the barrel I had at my disposal

    Serious?
    No advantage in generating more energy or extending point blank?

    Push a 75eldm at 3400fps and at 300yd it's about the same as a 223 MV...
