This might be slightly silly but I have a 300 Norma Mag and a fairly decent supply of 125gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Normally I use the 125gr BTs in my 308 to very good effect. Just wondering if anyone has been adventurous enough to try such a light bullet in the 300 NM? There is no published data on the internet. The lightest bullet I could find data for was 150gr and some of that published data says a 150gr will run at 3500 fps.

300 Norma Mag w 125gr Bullet

I've shot coyotes with the 125 BT going at a mere 3000 fps and the terminal effects are very impressive.
The RUM is only a little smaller than the Norma Mag. Based on the published load data for the NM with 150gr bullets, I'd guess it could drive a 125gr to maybe 3800 - 3900 fps. Thats a hell of a velocity for a 30 cal bullet.
