[QUOTE="troutwest66, post: 1528805, member: 71806"] I inherited my dad's .338 RUM Sendero. Not a new one and is awesome. My favorite rifle. He went to Berger VLD 250s after using Barnes XLC 210 grainers but never got a chance to take an animal with them. Long range performance was to his liking and he wanted every ounce of advantage. Here in north Idaho I knew the ranges would rarely get up to 1000 yards so with my VX3 CDS I am dialed out to 750 with the first gen CDS offerings from 2013. My load is the Barnes TTSX 225 grain (BC .514) at 3100 using Reloader 22. If I had the newer CDS system moving the dial more than one revolution I would be good to 1200 and more. If I wanted a lot more distance I would look at the Barnes TTSX LRX 225 grain bullet. Bigger bullets make nice wound channels at longer yardages. Bullet placement and design goes a long way no matter the cartridge chosen. [/QUOTE]
