[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1974207, member: 19988"] This will be a good discussion. Cause I’m with you. There will be some people that no matter what, will always Say bigger is better. I’m just not one of those people. I believe that there are way better options out there now. I shot a 338 in the military and I’m not knocking it. It was a fantastic round. But with Berger 195 grain ( 7mm ) that has a .755 BC and Alcoa 195 grain has .932 BC those bullets pretty much dominant IMO. Alco makes some 30 cal 240 grain bullets with .899 BC and Berger’s 245 grain bullets with .807. Berger’s 338 300 grain bullets have a .814 BC and Alco doesn’t make 338 Bullets. :(. I hope Alco brings back their 205 grain 7mm bullets be cause if I remember right it was over .970 BC. Yes this will be a good discussion. ((Hope everyone is doing good with all this stuff going on right now in this crazy world. )) [/QUOTE]
