[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1160738, member: 30671"] The .338 RUM makes a very good long range cartridge. Works well close if it's not handicapped with a 25x scope, on a 16lb rifle. I think the others cleared up I was just referring to the Swift A-Frame 275 bullet, sorry for any confusion. Not long range? Maybe I should have said there are better choices. I believe like most Swift bullets it will open well, but have not tested it for a minimal opening velocity. BC isn't much to write home about, and while i've seen sub-MOA out of it, the Accubonds out shoot it in our rifles. The partition style bullets have never been the most accurate for me. My partner and I hunted BC for goat and grizzly, he killed a record book bear and it worked very well. Not a lot of post mortem digging around, but blood poured rapidly out both sides. About 200 yards. If I ever have another grizzly tag, it's what will be in the rifle. [/QUOTE]
