[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 115571"] I actually got an email from Eric at Berger. They are in the process of building a press for the 338 bullets. The current presses they have do not have enough stroke to do the 338 bullets. I'm guessing here but around 7 to 12 months possibly. They will be offered in 250 and 300 grain VLD and Standard Tangent. I am also looking forward to this as the performance of their current bullets is top of the line. I hope they move on to 375 caliber too and give us some great high performance bullets too. Here's the actualy script from the email; "I know that we will likely be making something in the neighborhood of 250 and 300 grains. We are going to make both a VLD (high BD) and a standard tangent bullet (easier to make shoot)." I think Berger knows best what to make and lets all hope they do the VLD for both. Fifty The reason they stop at 210 is because Sierra wont release the rights to use the 240 jackets. This is the explanation I've gotten from Berger and JLK said they wont produce the 338 bullets because they cant get their hands on J-4 jackets. Berger told me this over the phone and email and JLK told me this in an email. Dave [/QUOTE]
