I know the early version 300 grain had a habit of coming apart after leaving the muzzle if driven fairly hard.
I also know that the 300 tacticles will land in the same place as a 300 smk at 1500 yds from the same gun at
about 3000 fps. So think and shoot whatever you like, but thems the facts. And by the way, the 285 Hornadys
are right there also. Essentually the same amount of clicks, for all of them shot from the same gun on the same day.
