I haven't tried 250's in my .358 BLR yet, but I do have a bunch of Hornady 250's on hand. So far I've only shot Winchester factory 200 and handloads with Hornady 200 SP over IMR3031. I'll have to try the 250s in it. I noticed when comparing the Speer vs Hornady 250 that the Speer has a higher ballistic coefficient of .446 vs .375 for Hornady. I'm a little surprised at that much difference. Thanks for the info 340mag. Ah, one of these days I need to go hunt elk.
