Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters One 338 bullet in 338 win mag

I shoot 250 grain nosler partitions in my .338 win mag.I have shot many deer, elk, and many african animals from Eland down to steenbuck. To me the 250 grain nosler partition is the best bullet made. It has never failed me. But I have never shot over 400 yds.

I should have been more precise with that I said, but sometimes typing on the iphone isn't ideal.

By practice I just mean spending time in the field, shooting from different positions and spending time with the rifle. I am fully aware that the two bullets in question won't shoot to the same poi that does not make practice any less valid however. If I know the clicks for both bullets, what is odd about shooting lots with a cheap one and less/hunting with the more expensive one?

If you know the trajectories of both bullets I honestly can't see anything wrong with that.

Personally, I'd stuff 225 Partitions, and perhaps Accubonds.

I have nothing bad to say about 210s, just myself, will take the extra FPE at long range and click one or two more, as only 1-2" drop diff at 400 yds...

That said, I respect anything JB has to say and wondered what he meant by 'Quirky' results w/light mono's - thinking he means weird inconsistent results, but perhaps he meant extraordinary...

I see little reason to go real light for cal even in mono when using a round w/lots of capacity. Lower BC will negate the MV diff IMHO, at longer ranges.
