[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2261548, member: 110890"] I'd say go with what shoots the best in your rifle. The Badlands BD-2's shoot very well if your rifle likes them. I've found them to be a little more picky to load than say the Hammers, but the much higher BC on the Badlands makes them attractive. I'm shooting the 150 gr BD-2 in my 7 Allen Mag at 3,711 fps. Crazy laser. Haven't had a chance to try it on game, but some of the hillbilly experiments we've done indicate it'll be nothing short of spectacular. If my twist was faster, I'd run the 160 Super BD. My sons 6.5 PRC just wouldn't take to the 125 BD-2's though. In the 338 I have no doubt the 250 or 275 (depending on your twist) Super BD-2 would be impressive - if your rifle takes to either of them. If you are really serious about extreme range, build a 375 CT around the 390 S-BD-2. ;) [/QUOTE]
