[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2039388, member: 115299"] I shoot both bergers and elds in my 338 RUM. I like them both. The elds need to be seated atleast .20 of the lands or further where as the bergers can be loaded a tenth off the lands. I load them with H1000 or R23. I am starting to prefer R23 over H1000 as the SDs seem to be lower. The elds are 285 and with 88.5grs of R23 I am getting 2820 and they stay supersonic to 2100 yards. The bergers are 300 over 91grs of H1000 @ 2773 and are supersonic to 2000 yrds. Both group well! Both will group sub moa to 1250. I really don't think you can go wrong with either but I am leaning toward the elds. I have been shooting 168gr amaxs in my 308s for years. I shoot bergers in my 6.5 and 300WM. Both seem to have a consistant bc. I have not had to adjust my dope much out to a 1000. If anything they both tend to shoot flatter out to about 1000 yards.The problems tend to show up beyond that. I have about 200 bergers through my 338 and around 50 of the elds but just worked up another 50 to head to the range latter in the week. I have several thousand bergers and amaxs through the others. Good luck! Both companies make great bullets. [/QUOTE]
