[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 863089, member: 11717"] I agree that one report doesn't make a complete case. That said, a lot of other very experienced shooters strongly thought the 250 bullet was too light and fragile for that situation. Your velocity when you shot that bear was probably about 2780. The bullets that hit that moose were probably going close 3000 inside of 100 yds out of a 338 LM. You might want to sneak up on some deer or something and put one through both shoulders at close range with that bullet going close to 3000 fps and see what happens. Yeah, running the numbers that you give, I'm showing the the 300 has a slight wind advantage from the start which slightly increases going down range. I understand your wanting a repeater, maybe you can load the 300's deep into the case? If I was doing your kind of hunting, I would probably shell out the $$$ for the CEB's. I probably wouldn't be shooting a 338 RUM a lot except for a little proficiency now and then and hunting. If you shoot yours a lot, CEB's can get spendy. Good Hunting! [/QUOTE]
