[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1065480, member: 78569"] I'm sure you all have read the .338 article on ballisticstudies.com. It talks about the elite hunter VLDs and says they should be annealed and meplat trimmed and only used on large bodied deer to 1800 fps. The article mainly focuses on the fact that the .338 drives bullets too slow to be effective but I think there are enough examples of pros and cons that individual testing is required. Seems like meplat trimming and loosing 2% BC isn't too bad for better terminal performance. How much do you trim them down? [/QUOTE]
