[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 862111, member: 2567"] Jeff, I too have some testing to do with 215's and some more testing with the 338 300's. One thing that makes me want to have some sort of testing of some bullets has to do with where we live and some unknowns that could come into play. The unknown that I speak of would be a charging griz. Inflicting maximum damage with adequate penetration at close range is the goal. Failure could hurt real bad. I bring this up because of a local gunsmith down here that got stalked by a sow griz and two cubs while elk hunting. She charged and he managed to get to his 338 win mag loaded with 200 gr ballistic tips and fired point blank. She bit the crap out of him then went back to her cubs, then returned to him. He shot a total of 3 times, but never delivered a knock out, so he got bit up a bunch. In my opinion, a 300 grain berger would be lights out as long as it penetrated deep enough to do what it should do. This is why I would like to see some testing. But what a great chance to compare a bunch of other bullets to see how they would act in the same medium. We already have a good idea what happens at long range, but we could see how different bullets perform at lower end velocities. This would be a lot of work, and wouldn't be absolute, because manufacturing mistakes can and will happen, but it could be cool. [/QUOTE]
