[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 323298, member: 1403"] I had nothing but good experiences with the 200g AB from a 300 RUM at 3100fps. Took a couple spike bulls, furthest being 525 yards and they left baseball size holes while going through shoulders. Never did recover one so I guess thats a good thing. I have heard of the 338 225g AB's coming apart though as well. Your not the first one. I have a friend that took his 338 Win mag to Africa a couple years back and he said every single one of the animals he shot with the 338 and 225g AB died quickly, but they never exited and didn't hold there weight very well, think he shot 4 animals. None exited. Thats just very odd to me at 338 Win mag velocities and a bonded bullet. Kinda makes me rethink about using them in my EDGE at 3300-3400fps. I have been looking at the sierra 250g gameking and its looking better everytime I see the BC and price. Hard to get away from the 300g SMK's though. [/QUOTE]
