[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 341397, member: 13285"] DUH, Just a thought (again). I might load up a few light loads at reduced velocity and fire them out of my .338WM. The idea is to simulate Sambar deer chest shots, with the Edge, past 1000 yards. I could then compare some of the other available .338 calibre projectiles and see if any of them expand better than the 300 grain SMK at low velocity and long range? Would have to work out a different impact velocity for each pill based on its B.C. to simulate past 1000 yard conditions. Then fire them at the desired reduced velocity at my 440 yards range into a suitable medium. You are welcome to come down and see how thing go if you would like to help out. Question 1.............Anyone got any good reduced load data for 225 gn and 250 gn bullets for a .338WM. Thinking of Hornady SST's and Nosler AB's Sierra Gameking etc Other sugestions welcome. Question 2............Anyone think of a suitable medium for testing .338 calibre bullets that would simulate a chest shot at long range? Need to collect the spent bullets so that we can compare them.
