[QUOTE="rangerman, post: 2974456, member: 8851"] I’m running the Berger 300 grain OTM’s at 2845 fps in my 338 Edge and have taken two whitetail bucks. One at 300 yards and one at 505 yards. Bucks were dead on their feet and only ran maybe 20 yards before dropping. Damage was not very severe at all. In fact I’ve been thinking about trying the 300 grain elite hunters just to see how they perform. My 300 RUM with the 215 Bergers just drops everything DRT. Probably see similar results with the 300 grain elite hunters since they both have the thinner copper jacket. My son has taken a large bull elk at 300 yards and a 250 pound black bear at 765 yards with my 338 Edge using the 300 grain OTM’s and they worked great. I believe the 300 grain OTM’s with their thicker copper jacket tend to pencil through the bucks I’ve taken. Bullet placement has been in the crease just behind the shoulder so no large bones have been hit. I plan to check all my Berger bullets in the future to make sure the tips are open down to the lead core. This should I allow the bullets to fragment like they are designed to do. [/QUOTE]
