When you buy the bullets you need to make sure you are not buying gen 1 bullets. I also think that the suggested lower velocity makes the 338 Edge and RUM less attractive as those weapons were purchased for the higher speed.

Burger has fixed it and lowered their BC. Wasnt that just in the super .338 mags?Either way, they did fix it and lower their BC, but it's still .818 now which is higher than anything else Right?nose slump was experienced with the 1st generation berger 300 grainers about 2800-2850 fps. so yeah probly mostly in super mags. it is fixed with the 2nd generation. berger still recomends around 2650 fps muzzle velocity for best accuracy. thats what they told my cousin with the 338-378 wby. thats where he is shooting them and is getting .6-.7 MOA out to 500 yards. loaded to magazine length.

Running the Gen 2 Bergers at 2950 in my Edge with no accuracy issues at all. The Gen 1's were not so pretty.
Do you know if the 300 grain will be cannelured? I know they have some for 6.8, 9.3, .375 but since this is new I can't find info on it. None of my .308 or .224 stuff is cannelured.
