[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 249277, member: 2852"] Yes, a short range test I agree. Because at the advertised b.c. and your large case, the impact at 800 yards would probably be similar to a 300 gr SMK at 500 or 600 yards ( I'm too lazy tonight to actually run the numbers for an exact distance so it's a guess) from a regular sized magnum and I've seen Barnes bullets in smalller-cased 338 caliber open at that range and let's not forget that at short distance, a 338 is a pretty big hole no matter what bullet it is. So in effect, it's still unknown as to what these bullets will do to game when impact velocities are reduced to under 2200 fps. So far, they look a lot better than the Gen I bullets so that is promising. And I'm glad you had a fun hunt. Did you have any jerky stips made? I love home-smoked whitetail jerky but whitetails are hard to come by in this part of the world! [/QUOTE]
