[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 439702, member: 505"] Scot, you are hitting it about right on the money from my experiences. It is easy at times to create a load that goes well beyond the rifles capability to shoot. In other words if your shooting an 800 yard rifle there is no sense shooting 1200 yard capable bullets in it. Better off to go light and fast and be way more effective within the range your rifle is best suited. You can use a ranging reticle scope and forget clicks with the light, fast bullets. I just don't get into clicks under 800 yards on big game animals. Coyotes or smaller stuff like ground hogs or prarie dogs where you got to be more precise then turning clicks can get you dead on. I am confident in kills approaching 800 yards with a 338-06 AI with 185 Barnes ttsx bullets. The 210 Scirroco with a .510 or so BC is also a very good one that I use in my gibbs and 338-06 AI. The scirroco is a tougher bullet than the accubond from what I have seen. The 225 AB at .55 bc is the heaviest I would consider for that rifle. It is a very good cartridge for any animal in north america. You will be amazed at how accurate this size 338's are. [/QUOTE]
