[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1366922, member: 22069"] Yes, so far, the ONLY bullets I have seen that can keep up with the Berger in terms of velocity, drift, and drop are monos. Accuracy and terminal performance are still open questions. The only other .338 bullets that even make sense to me are in the 200 grain range. I'm not sure why it's such an issue in the .338 diameter, but a LOT of .338 bullets seem to be designed with a long bearing surface, which limits velocity potential. That may not make much difference with the larger cased .338's, but it matters when trying to extract efficiency from cases on the smaller end of things. [/QUOTE]
