[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1025877, member: 85712"] I never understood why guys would build/buy a rifle like a 338 Lapua and not shoot one of the higher BC bullets. Generally speaking all the 250's have a considerable lower BC than the 300's - even the 285. In Litz's book the Lapua Scenar does not even have a .600 BC, That's terrible when you look at the other choices. If you run the numbers-in therory a 300 shooting one of Bergers 230gr would start to fly faster and hit harder at [B]around [/B]800 yds. I know the 250gr. enjoys a stable flight through transonic into subsonic but nobody I know hunts that far away unless it's another human. (Longest confirm kill is over 2700 yds. with a 250 gr. Lapua Lock Base) So what do you guys hunt with and if you uses one of the 250s would you tell me what your experience has been? Thanks [/QUOTE]
