[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 501384, member: 505"] I shot the 265's out of my 338-378 but not at game yet. Didn't try them until after hunting season. They were very accurate out of my rifle and like the 185 ttsx I was shooting in my 338 winchester I am confident they have the BC on those way low. I got them out to about 800 yards and the windage was very close to the 300 smks I was shooting at the same time. Just guestimating I would say the windage was showing easily into the .6's. This summer I am going to do some BC tests on several bullets including these. Out of your Norma they would be outstanding for long range elk. I will be testing these two Barnes, the 225 and 252 CE bullets, 250 grain Rocky mountain bullet, the 180 grain 30 cal ce bullet, the 264 caliber 130 grain scirroco and several others. I have shot that 130 scirroco for a few years and had great luck with it but I never did a bc test on it. I know it is close. I am retired with plenty of rifles, powder and bullets and nothing else to do. Very dangerous combination. I hope I am putting the 338 SIN through some heavy testing with several bullets by next weekend. If anybody has any experience with the cutting edge bullets as far as animal kills and BC I would sure like to hear about it. [/QUOTE]
