[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 191756, member: 319"] It's a great hunting bullet. Big hole, deep penetration, very accurate.... But its BC isn't that high. The 210 will beet it ballistically--I've actually measured it to have a slightly higher BC and you can launch it 150 fps faster--but I haven't tried it on game (yet). The 210 and 300 .338 have much more efficient shapes. I think that's why there's nowhere near the love for the 240 as there is for the 300--in real life its BC is a lot farther off than it looks like on paper. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very good long range performer, but there is room for improvement. Now, if Berger decides to make a 240.... :D :D :D [/QUOTE]
