[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 384262, member: 4809"] The "best 338 bullet" theme of this thread seems to be running along bullet performance rather than "best bullet BC" and rightfully so. To my mind, there isn't an appreciable difference in bullet flight between higher BC 338 (.6-.7) and the slightly lower 338 BC's (.5-.6) out to 500 yds. You can easily compensate for drop and windage isn't too large an impact if we are talking 500 yd. max range. Ranger touched on the monometal bullets. In my experience, the Barnes line of trippleshock (TSX, TTSX, MRX) are absolutely devasting on game. You don't hear of too many failing to perform, be it 50 yds. or 500 yds. Barnes bullets don't have the BC for true long distance shooting. Additionally, I have had a dickens of a time getting them to shoot accurately out of my rifles, but others seem to have mastered it. The NAB is my go-to bullet for LRH, but if I am confident my shots will be 50-500 yds, then the TSX wins every time. It flat puts 'em down. [/QUOTE]
