[QUOTE="ArtsMonkey, post: 1026539, member: 31378"] Ok i've been round and round... In the next couple of weeks I will be getting my 338AX from kirby.. and yes it's been a long wait!!! I'm trying to choose the bullet i shoot so that I can play with my toy when it get's here. I think i've narrowed it down to the Accubond (300gr) or the SMK (300gr). This will be strictly a big game rifled (elk mainly but don't count out Africa and moose). I currently shot 7mm mag and have taken elk out to 725. I want to extend this range but if a trophy elk walks 100 yards away you'll be damned if I won't sling some lead!! on SMK 300 i've heard everything from not consistent weight (means not as accurate/consistant out at 1K) from one to another, will frag when in close ranges to excellent bullet for elk even though not designed for it. On Accubond 300 I've heard that the advertized BC isn't "real" and it's lower than expected.. hard to get hands on.. not as accurate at 1K range, etc. Please give me your opinion and why you pick that bullet!!
