Keep a close eye on pressure, the 338's ive developed were 40* with very minimal body taper, depending on your reamer design you might not reach our speeds.
Check scheels. I saw some 250 bergers there on a shelf.That's why I like the 250's as well. They are super fast and flat inside 1000 or so and since this is primarily a hunting rifle that's what I'm after. I may have to snag some more berger 250's. I just loaded up the 40 or so that I had to fire form with.
I just picked up 500 at mile high shooting. The 250 Berger have been fairly available the last couple months.Check scheels. I saw some 250 bergers there on a shelf.
Held up well, I lost the darn bullet after digging it out of the elk. Short story is about 3 feet of penetration. Hit a rib on the way in (about mid way in the rib cage and went all the way back to the hips and broke the spin there. I have have good luck with them- testing the 265 Accubond soon. The 280 LRX Barnes was accurate as well.@Marine sniper how did that ELDX hold together? I have really contemplated moving to the 270 gr. with the improved case 3100 - 3200 is attainable.
Nice. Time to stock up. LolI just picked up 500 at mile high shooting. The 250 Berger have been fairly available the last couple months.
That is for sure! I have it narrowed down between the 270 ELD-X and 265 Accubond. I just don't trust Bergers on shots where placement is not the best. I have killed a couple of elk with them and have not been impressed, sometime they are awesome- and sometimes not so much.@Marine sniper Thanks for the response, I have had great luck with the smaller ELDx bullets in various calibers, good to hear the reports from you. I may just have to pick up a box or two to test someday. (the cycle never ends )
I have been wondering about the 250 Berger and performance on game. I ended up finding these at Graffs the other day it took the better part of a month to show up but they were finally on my doorstep today.That is for sure!

Stackin bodies! That's what I'm talkin about!
