I have been shooting 250 gr Nosler Partitions out of my 338-378s.I am afraid of using the 300 gr smks on moose,grizzley bears and bufffalo if I ever get a permit.I trust the Nosler 250 gr up close on bears but I would not trust the 300 gr smks on a bear at 10 yards.I have tried Kodiak 275 gr and the old speer 275 gr.I do like the Kodiak but they are hard to find.I want to try the 300 gr serria smks on caribou at long range.I figure about 600 yards is my max for the 250 gr nosler for moose.I think about 400 yards on grizzley with the 250 gr is about the furthest I would shoot.I want to try these 275 gr Kodiaks they might be better than the nosler 250 gr I will just have to see.The 416 Rem mag with the barnes x bullets is interesting with the 300 gr x bullet at 2950fps.I loved the 325 gr at 2800 fps but they dont make them any more.
