[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1130526, member: 2460"] I've always wondered why Berger never made a 338 Cal bullet weight between 250 & 300 gr ..... It makes no sense at all they have such a large gap in bullet weight .... 250 gr Elite bc .685 300 gr Elite bc .814 just using math to arrive at a bc between the two is a 275 gr bullet with a bc of .749 , then compute a 285 gr bullet bc of .768 rougly ....... The new Hornady 285 ELD Match has a bc of .789 verified by Doppler Radar so it's an accurate # ! Loaded to 3100 fps in my 338 Edge it will be most awesome ....... 300 Elite bc .814 at 2900 vs 285 ELD bc .789 at 3100 fps ? The 285 gr ELD Match carries an advantage all the way out to 2000 yards and the 300 gr Elite Hunter never catches up ...... Bonus is that tip will allow for longer range positive expansion on game ........ Look at the #'s in pic ( my elev. is 413 ft ) ELD Match on the left and Elite Hunter on right .... I'm looking forward to the 338 cal 285 gr ELD Match and hope Hornady techs get their heads out of their asses and produce a long range 375 cal bullet [/QUOTE]
