[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 2970869, member: 2567"] My best kills on elk have been with the 300 gr Berger, I shoot the OTM though for a little tougher jacket. I get slightly different end results from my two 338 rums, one has a 9.3 twist Broughton and the other a 10 twist Bartlein. The Broughton barrel tends to have the bullet expand to close to 1.5 inches and shed the lead. The Bartlein tends to act like a bonded bullet and expands to about .75 inches at 600 yards. Most times these bullets don't exit in my experience, usually they end up under the hide on the off side. I hunted with some 300 grain accubonds one year and I don't think they kill as well as the Berger, but they will penetrate and exit! If I had a choice, I would have Berger as first shot and then follow with 300 gr accubonds for maximum penetration. My accubonds shoot 1 inch right of my Bergers at 100 same height, same velocity, both running 99 gr of RL33 and 2850 fps. [/QUOTE]
