[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2349195, member: 10755"] I was using the Berger 300g OTM out of a custom 338-416 Rigby Improved @ 3150-3200fps depending on powder used. At extreme ranges, 1000-1300mtr, those bullets did strange things, they didn’t open and tumbled. The one’s I recovered showed expansion at the tips on one side only…could not tell if it was due to blocked tips or not. Tried pointing and tipping them, made no difference, it was obvious this was outside of their performance window. I had good results 800 and in, but this is not what my rifle is for. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
