[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 219262, member: 505"] Dave, which rifle are you getting 3100 fps with the 300 matchkings? Thanks for the report on the 250's. They are for my pet 338-378. It will be the elk rifle. Always has been. The other stuff is for the deer. I shoot the 250's at 3300 fps and the 300's at 3000 fps. At the ranges I shoot the 250 seems to look a lot better. Not much difference in BC for 300 fps. I shoot inside 800 yards. I call myself a mid-range shooter. I can tell you in October what the 250's will do on elk if they work out in the rifle. With the tags we drew we will have no problem testing the bullets. I just hope my son gets a big one. I got a 360 6x6 in there last time. I have been shooting the 200 grain nosler ballistic tips at 3600 fps because they are so accurate in my gun but they really fall off past about 650 yards. The BC on the 250's can give me some extra umpf if I have to shoot a bit further. Last year I got a really nice bull at just under 800 yards and that really stretched the little 200 ballistic tip. It did a good job on the elk but the wind catches it a bit way out there. [/QUOTE]
