[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 575346, member: 26019"] Wasp thats a pretty hard choice for me to make for you. I use the 300 gr. Sierra Match King for a long range hunting bullet. Quite a few of the younger guys that shoot larger 338 cartridges are finding really good results with the Berger. In the past most of them preferred the 250 gr. match king. I think there are two things that are keeping me from switching to the Berger, number 1 is availability in my area If I run out of Sierra I can pick them up at a number of local shops, number two is I feel that the Berger requires a little faster twist than what I currently have. When I'm in areas that have a good chance of producing the need for a close range shot I keep my rifle loaded with a good heavily constructed conventional hunting bullet. I keep the scope set for the long range bullets and switch over to the Matchking when shots will be long enough that the standard hunting bullets groups exceed the size of the kill zone, or at the yardage that I start having difficulties with Point of impact. The 338 Lm is actually quite a monster masher when loaded in this manner I feel that I can have my cake and eat it too! - [/QUOTE]
