[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1032179, member: 65338"] I agree with an earlier poster that there really isn't much difference in drop, drift, or energy between the 250gr Berger Elite Hunter (BC: 682) and other high BC 300gr bullets. I use the 250gr Berger Elite Hunters in my 338-375 Ruger because I don't have a muzzle brake. I push them at 2930 fps from a 26" Brux barrel and recoil is about on par with a 300 win mag using 215's. So recoil is manageable. I have shot 2 deer with that bullet so far, one large mule deer buck at 380 yards and one doe at 265, and they both were one and done. The 250gr Berger is a laser beam at higher speeds and is an absolute hammer on any game North America can offer for hunting. [/QUOTE]
