[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1135905, member: 33822"] I've developed very accurate loads in my 338 RUM with the 225 Accubond, 300 Accubond and 285 LRX. The flattest shooting even at long range is the lighter/faster 225 Accubond and the largest drop comes from the 300 grain Accubond. Retained energy at long range becomes the limiter with the lighter 225 Accubond. My go-to hunting load is the 300 Accubond with RL-33 at 2780 fps. ive shot this load accurately out to 1350 and have also killed two elk with it at very close range (15 yards and 35 yards) and the bullet performed perfectly. I also am somewhat limited with only 40 MOA of vertical travel with my VX6 as I just have it mounted with Talley rings that obviously have zero cant. But with the 300 Accubond I still can dial out to 1440 yards and the faster/flatter 225 lets me dial out to 1530. This is at 8500 ft elevation which is about the average where I hunt. [/QUOTE]
