[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1478591, member: 41338"] Wow, where have I been? 230 ELDX... I asked for something from Berger in that range some years ago and the reply was that there are no plans for it. The 338 Win Mag may well be the perfect elk cartridge and the 225 gr. weight bullet tends to be optimal all the way out to mid range distances. I know... this is a long range site but I'm still old school enough to appreciate the sheer aptitude, as evidenced by history, of some of the more historically respected cartridges. It's to late now to dither with new loads but I'll have to check it out at some point. I don't have a brake on my Win Mag so this weight bullet should be right in the wheelhouse of a guy who want's a do-all bullet, assuming it shoots. I have a friend with some 275 gr. Speers that he stocked up on, and are currently discontinued. He shoots them in his 338 Win Mag and he's done quite well with them. One of his mounts takes up a big piece of his living room. Good eat's too. Shot in front and bullet recovered at the hip. Don't underestimate a big thing, moving slow, and busting up every inch of animal along the way. [/QUOTE]
