[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 461624, member: 10306"] I shoot 300 SMK's out of my .338 RUM XCR. The Bergers are longer yet and I must single load with the SMK. I think that my COAL is pushing 3.9 or so, otherwise Im crushing a ton of powder. They shoot great out of my gun though. Im gonna switch to the bergers when Im done these couple boxes, I just cant ignore a B.C of .891. There are better choices for close range than the Bergers as they tend to fragment easily (which is why they make a good LR hunting bullet). The 225 TTSX and Accubond are both good choices. They have pretty decent B.C's and can be chucked out at about 3300fps. I run both in my rifle. I zero the turrets for the 300's but walk around with the turrets dialed below zero... to my 225 zero.This allows my to make quick shots out to 450 yards with mill-dots, and use the 300's for long bombin'. I have found that even some 250's start to crush powder, so If you wanna fit the mag I would stay with the 225's. [/QUOTE]
