[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1336073, member: 4191"] Glad to stumble across this Thread. I just shot a couple animals recently with the 300gr Berger OTMs from my 338 Rogue, and the meat damage was a little more than desired on a caribou at 720yds. I'm considering a bullet change. Had been awaiting a 285 ELD-X offering from Hornady. But it looks as though the ELD-M is performing pretty nice. Anyone hit an animal with higher retained velocity - at closer range? If so, how much bullet survived, if a bullet was recovered? And how much bullet explosion caused meat damage? Any estimates on MV to be gained in swapping from the 300gr Berger to the 285 ELD-M in a .338 Lapua Improved capacity cartridge? ~40fps? [/QUOTE]
