[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1029626, member: 14053"] I have used the 300 grain Berger and it is accurate and really kills. I tried the Hornady Match 285 and it did not shoot as accurate as I wanted. The bearing was long and the diameter was fat so I couldn't get the velocity I wanted. You can try the 300 Berger jumping and some guns shoot them good jumping .120 or more. I use the Elites and have had all one shot kills with most dead in tracks. Hornady makes a hollow point match in 285 and that is the one I was talking about. I don't know if they make a AMAX. I use RE33 and get great accuracy and velocity with the 300 Berger Elite. The RE33 gave us 100 to 150 more velocity over all the other powders and most shot 4 to 5 inch 5 shot groups at 1000. The Berger Elite was also faster and shot more accurate then the 300 Sierra. The difference in killing was that great, that my buddy switched from the Sierra to Berger Elite after he saw how my gun killed. I like heavy bullets when shooting big tough animals because I believe you get more penetration and exits. Matt [/QUOTE]
