[QUOTE="Lausboob, post: 652241, member: 32820"] Take a look at the 225 Cutting edge solid copper bullet (BC .640) for the 338 winchester. I've had excellent accuracy @ 2950 fps in the little 338 win using H-4350. This combination still has 2200 ft-lbs @ 600 yards ! Longtime lone ranger also uses these solids in his 338's past 1000 yards on big game. Currently own a 6.5-284 norma in a Blaser R8 and absolutely love the round. Very mild recoil, awesome ballistics, ect...I'm sure the 6.5/284 will get the job done at longer ranges if that is the only option available. However, if you compare a 225 bullet like the CEB (BC.640) it's in another league when comparing the 6.5/284, IMO. Again, both will get the job done in the end. If the bull of a lifetime is in your sights I would choose the 338 win mag hands down given the choice. IMO, the 338 win is a very capable and underated long range cartridge. Good luck on your hunt !
