[QUOTE="njones125, post: 1156168, member: 93678"] One of my elk hunting areas does have very high grizzly populations, but I won't limit my elk bullet to that. (I can always pack the 44mag on my hip.) Maybe its because I don't have first-hand experience with Bergers, and I am not trying to bash them but I have just heard and read a lot of horror stories about them either penciling or disintegrating and not penetrating shoulders. I believe that any bullet on the market will get the job done with a well placed shot. I have had some very good results with both the Nosler accubond in the 30-378 and Barnes in my 338 win mag. Just looking for opinions from some of you who have first-hand experience. Another question: it is very obvious to me that the 300gr is the most popular round for the 338 lapua, have any of you guys played with bullets in the 225-280gr range and what are your thoughts on them? I will obviously try many different combos once I have my gun but my first and foremost priority will be to build the most ethical effective big game bullet I can that is accurate at long range. I can limit my range if need be but I cant make a really high B.C. bullet work magic if I read the wind wrong, pull a shot, ect. [/QUOTE]
