[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 399435, member: 505"] Haven't shot anything yet with a 185. Just working up some loads. The barnes will not come apart though so I am confident it will be fine. Faster powders like 4350 and similar are better with the 185. One load of re 19 got well into the 3400's. My barrel is a douglas xx supreme 28" 1-10 twist. I have shot a 100 grain tsx out of a 257 wby through caribou, elk, and other critters with excellent performance so I feel good about a 185 grain 338 bullet. I will let you know for sure during hunting season. May pop a grizzly with one in August. Tom, I used the 225 AB for the first time last year when I switched over several rifles to it. Some of my friends I did 338-300 ultras for did also. I really liked the velocity/BC ratio and the accuracy of that bullet is excellent. I put three through the chest of a big 6x6 bull elk and every one were complete jacket seperation/fragmentation bullet failure. My friends experienced the same thing. I have several boxes for sale cheap. I spent a lot to work up loads in my rifles last year and changing again this year. [/QUOTE]
