Accubonds, no question, best choice. You can read about Shawns experience with at BT (slightly superior killing projectile than a MK) here [ QUOTE ]
<font color="purple"> When I built the first 338 EDGE that you read the article about, I loaded some 200 grain Nosler BT @ 3522 fps out of the 26" tube. I shot a deer at 315 yards with it. The shot was broadside hit a rib on the way in and never exited the deer. Small bullet frags were against the skin on the far side but never penetrated. The inside and most of the front quarter was cranberry sauced. (lesson learned).
