[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 2126495, member: 75933"] I run in the med to light for caliber and high velocity crowd now. I did the heavy thing for a bit, but a moderate ranges, I can get better performance and less perceived recoil from a lighter bullet going faster. A 300gr .338 berger has and awesome BC, but at only 2700ish fps it can easily be beaten inside 1000yds by a 250gr .338 at 3000fps. Now, crank that up another notch and shoot the Badlands SB2 240gr and you've got more speed and energy at most effective hunting ranges. I'll be loading the 240gr for this years Montana Elk trip, so that the 6-800 yards shots flatten out and remove some of the guesswork. [/QUOTE]
