[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 383834, member: 505"] I checked the JBM calculator to answer your question. The 225 sst that killed the elk at 914 yards was traveling appr. 2120 fps at time of impact. It was a perfect mushroom under the off side hide. The bullet mushroomed to about .1" in front of the canelure. I know that is not down to your 1600 fps range but from that I would say it would open up and work on game. Load was 127 grains H-870 at 3470 fps out of a 338-378. 10,600 ft elevation. Winmag, The 225 338 bullet is a much tougher bullet than the 150 277 bullet. From what you gathered I would shoot the ab in your case. I am changing over all my big guns from the 225 accubond to something else because I saw three complete failures with that bullet this year on game. [/QUOTE]
