My data is NOT out of a reloading manual. It is from a reloading and shooting bench.

Since you proudly announce oyu have five manuals, read them...

Don't know why/if you're locked into ballistic tipped bullets but this in one time that I would strongly urge the use of a pretty hard premium bullet. A friend of mine using a 30-338 used 150's at some sort of boy howdy velocity. The results on antelope and whitetails was pretty disgusting.

On and off for the last 5 years I have played around with different loads using 150gr hornady soft point and later when the 150sst was introduced, also nosler brands, I have yet to get a 150gr bullet to settle in at a 100 meters. I finally gave up and now use the 165gr. hornady sst with great results. I would pass on my load data but I am about 340 miles from my records. A couple years ago I shot a buck about 200yds away with a 180gr. load. The buck dropped right where I shot him, but I was disapointed because my shot went through him without any expansion, lucky it was a perfect heart shot. This last year I switched to the 165sst and shot a doe about 180 yds out and dropped her. The exit wound was about 3 inches in diameter. The heart and lungs were just pulverized, that is how I prefer my shots.
