[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 163017, member: 4491"] i shoot an Edge and last year shot 300's out of it exclusively with very good accuracy results. i've always been a little apprehensive about terminal performance because i'm going after Mr. eastern whitetail, not Mr western Elk. that is unless Wyoming will give me an elk tag next year, but that's a different story. so i started shooting the 250SMK a while ago because i've heard from several back here that have 20-30+ years of long range hunting experience, that out to 1k, the 250's will work better at killing our medium sized whitetails. with the extra speed that brings more RPM's and less hang time, i'm definitely going with the 250's this year. at 1k i have around 20" less drop than the 300's. my point to all of this is i agree with Kirby( we agree on everything eh Kirby?) in that a 250 gr bullet is probably the best fit for the 90-110 gr of powder cartridges.i know the 300 is an awesome killing pill for elk, but most are not always shooting at elk. to be honest, i think the 250 would probably kill elk just as efficiently as the 300's as a 338 shooter it's just nice to have more options. the Wildcat Al tipped bullets are very exciting, the Bergers by the end of the year or whenever and of course the old tried and true SMK's. i just love shooting the 338 caliber. for long range big game hunting, it's just slicker than snot on a door knob!
