[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 57422, member: 10"] I assure you the 300 gr Sierra Matchking(SMK) will not explode on elk and moose size targets. They actually perform quite well on this size targets from all the reports I have seen and heard about. I personally have found H-50BMG to be the best powder I have tested in my 338 Kahn. I do not load it very hot, in fact pretty mildly at around 3050 fps but it shoots very well. I have some H-870 but not enough to really develop a load for this round. Sure as heck as soon as I played with this powder I would find that magical load about the time I ran out of powder. Out of my V-Block rifles, the 338 Kahn will average less then 1.5" groups at 500 yards for three shot groups. I have shot several groups in the.8" to .9" range with the 300 gr Wildcat Bullets ULDs at this range. A properly set up 338-378 will do the same thing of the ammo is up to it. Good Shooting!!!
