[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 104914, member: 2852"] [b]Re: .338 250 grain MK\'s?????[/b] Well thanks for the kind words my friend, but my experiences aren't really "state of the art" as much as they may seem. As far as the 338 goes, I've only got concrete data on the 300 grain MK's and the 225 Accubonds. These Scenars are new to me entirely and they have a whole set of new rules apparently. I'm learning as I go. When I was testing bc on the 300 grain MK's at 11,000 feet, the bc proved itself time and time again at .820. I think the 250 MK is probably much higher than what they are saying and DC seems to have good evidence that they are in fact higher too.
