[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 4367, member: 879"] Max: you wrote: ""LONG range shooting is primarily the domain of high BC and heavy bullets for caliber(yes, they're related). That would be my .02 worth."" So, if a fella wanted to take a 300-400 yd shot with a .338 Win Mag on elk-sized game (I realize the .338 is not the ideal long-range rig!), you would advise going with a "heavy for calliber" bullet such as 225 or a 230 grain Failsafe or a 250 grain Nosler or sierra GAMEKING? Rather than a 200 grain or 210 grain? Right? Or is 200 grain heavy enough that you really don't have to worry about using a heavy for calliber bullet at that range? My gun just happens to like the 200 grain and does not do well with the 250 grain. [/QUOTE]
