[QUOTE="alaska, post: 1251794, member: 23096"] The 250 SBT has a tad harder core than other Sierra bullets. I have had experience with the 250 SBT in the 338 Win Mag. At short range with vel high sheds a lot of weight.......but as the range gets longer it tends to shed less due to lower vel. Accuracy is also excellent. In my 338 Rum had best accuracy with RL 25 around 3000 FPS. Suggest only use the 250 SBT bullet if long range is the norm. Expansion is not controlled so meat damage is greater........:( For my Alaska hunting mainly moose I use the Swift A Frame 225gr and 230gr Fail Safe and Reloder 22. I have used 225 and 250 Nosler Part. with great success . I noticed in my custom Rem 700 it prefers flat based bullets. I suggest the 338 RUM needs a bonded tough bullet.......it's a beast of a round. [/QUOTE]
