[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 1031899, member: 13285"] The Berger 250gn Elite Hunter is an excellent bullet. It can be driven quite fast and this makes up for its slightly lower BC. In most .338 Lapua, .338 RUM and .338 Edge rifles you would be hard pressed to pick much difference in wind drift between it and a 300gn Berger out to 1400 yards. A muzzle brake also performs better with a 250gn bullet than a 300gn bullet. With these Berger bullets it is the impact velocity that determines the killing ability rather than the impact energy. No good having heaps of impact energy if the projectile doesn't have enough impact velocity to initiate expansion. [/QUOTE]
