[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 115386, member: 10"] I doubt they will do a 300 gr VLD bullet as they may run into trouble with a 1-10 twist in the slower chambered 338 rounds if they get to long in bullet length. If they do this they will cut their feet right out from under themselves for sales reasons. If I had to predict a bullet weight it would be no heavier then 270-275 gr and have the same or slightly higher BC then a 300 gr SMK. They will not get to radical with their bullet weights. Same reason the 30 cals stop where they do. They work well in all standard twist and thats why they sell, because everyone can use them in most anything out there. If you get to specialized the sales will go down. Again, I may be wrong but I doubt we will ever see a 300 gr VLD from Berger. Hope I am wrong though [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!! If they are looking to be direct competition with the 300 gr SMK, they do not need 300 gr of bullet weight to do it and in the smaller 338 rounds, a lighter bullet will be an advantage for higher velocity with equal BC to a 300 gr SMK. Just my thinking.... Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
