“A 250gr bullet in .338 does not have sufficient sectional density to stay true over that distance.

A 300gr boat tail would do the trick. The BC must be at least .6”

Ditto. Some think long range shooting is all about velocity when in truth it is more about ballistic coefficient.

Somebody needs to make a 325gr .338 spitzer.

Nosler tops out at 250.

It would have sufficient sectional density and therefore stability to shoot that distance.

Not there’s many reasons to shoot that distance. Even on a bench your heartbeat will move the reticule 5 feet.
