[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2716324, member: 14204"] The challenge with the 250 SB2 (1.873") is it is extremely long for the .338 WM compared to 225 NAB (1.45"). Even with the .338 RUM/EDGE/Lapua, you will need a COAL in the 4.00+" range to take full advantage of what the 250 SB2 offers. This is one of the reasons I went with the NM over LM.
