Photos Bullet Pics

[scaxeman]

I was doing a comparison shot of some different match .308 bullets, and decided to throw in a couple of .338 bullets as well. The pic looked interesting, so I thought there would be wider interest as well.

Berger asked me to note that the last bullet in line (the Berger .338 300 grain) is <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">NOT</span></span> in production yet, so they won't be officially available for about 6 weeks.

Awesome pic.
I load 155 .308 and 300gr for .338 Specter.

The 300gr .338 bullet is as big as my pinkie - very impressive next to the 'little' .308s.

Holding them in the palm of your hand, it is stunning, the size of the .300gr .308.

Re: Bullet Pics

What kind of BC does the 300 Berger have? Are you also saying that it will be available in about 6-8 weeks for commercial purchase?

Dont even start.....it is best that these are forgotten until they have them ready for prime time.

Im scared just thinking about it.

I have <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">NO</span></span></span> idea what you're talking about...

John boy has the same BC numbers I have... basically *really* good.

1:10 is the minimum twist, I personally will run a 1:9.

The "hybrid" designation refers to the compound style nose. Nearer the meplat, the configuration is secant, for better aerodynamics. Nearer the bearing surface, the profile is tangent, for easier reloading (not as sensitive to variations in jump to lands).

The latest info I have is ~6 weeks till they ship.

Re: Bullet Pics

talked to berger quite a while ago and they recommended a 1:9.75 twist for these 300 grainers

Re: Bullet Pics

The 210 gr VLD looks nice, real pointy.

Re: Bullet Pics

I actually prefer the 210 BT... much easier to load for. (says someone who has run 155 VLD's for the past 4 years!!)
