[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2785348, member: 75451"] The .338 may be a much better bullet (structurally speaking) than the 6.5 (granddaughter’s rifle) that I tested. Some “swear by them” on game …..but, my gut tells me that I would “swear at them”! I hunt mixed terrain…..I don’t want bullet integrity determining what type of shots I can make! 20 yards to 800 is asking a lot of a cup and core…..even the bonded ones! 800 yards is nearing the limit for reliable expansion velocity (1900 fps) with my wife’s .338 WM (her personal limit is 500) …..but, I’d almost write you a guarantee that it will not fail at 20 yards! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
