[QUOTE="600BP, post: 443816, member: 22097"] Thank you for the quick response. I'm new to this LR stuff and get so many conflicting stories about bullet selection I get kinda lost. After I posted this I read a thread from back in June about Bergers vs Barnes. To be honest, after reading about three or four pages, I still don't have an answer. I have used Barnes bullets with great efficiency, up to 500yds+, in my hunting rigs up to this point. However due to the lower BC I wasn't sure what to expect when I take the jump to 1000 or more with a larger caliber (338). Barnes has always performed well when I typically use about 20% less bullet weight than I normally would with a standard bullet (example 30 cal bullet, 165gr instead of 180gr). Because of the drop in weight/grains I have found that the bullet expands violently and still penetrates completely through the animal. However, I still have yet to find anyone that has been using them with luck over 1000 yds. Could be that I missed it; could be that no one uses them at that distance. I guess I will find out how they both work once I get the build done. Thanks again, I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
