I have a 338-378 WBY for long range elk sniping/hunting.

I now use the 250gr partion at 3000 fps but want to experiment with the new tunsgten Barnes MRX(when soon available) vs the Barnes TRX vs the Partition.I was going to play with the Nosler accubond but thanks, I think I will pass on that.

If accurate and the same BC a 225 gr bullet at 3200 should beat a 250 gr @ 3000. Time will tell.

I will presently pass on the North fork for long range shooting because visually the bullet configuration appears nonconducive for long range(350+ yd) shooting. For DG ranges GREAT,for long range questionable(to me).

Out to 300 yds BC is not usually a big factor. Past 300 yds it becomes important.At 500 yds it is a signifigant factor in retaining/maintaining bullet energy/trajectory.
