You nailed it and that is exactly why I went .300 Win Mag. Once I read the specs on the 220 Grain testing that was done head to head with the .338 it was about 15 pounds less energy than the 250 Grain .338 at 1500 yards. That and I don't see Lapua ammo getting any less expensive either. I don't do my own loading, so I'll have to take a look at who has the Berger too. Still pushing several different rounds through it to find the one I like best.
Thanks for the input!

Re: Good Ballistic Software
Does it have the Sierra 220 Grain .300 Win mag in it?

Re: Good Ballistic Software
Oh and after talking to Black Hills they didn't get the contract on that 220 Grain load. They did all the development and testing and then in typical fashion Washington put it out for RFP and awarded it to Lake City/Federal and it is not easy to find. I did manage to locate a couple hundred rounds that should be here in a couple of weeks, but not easy.

Good Ballistic Software
I did a search to make sure I wasn't repeating anything here, and I don't think I am...but if so feel free to point me in the right direction. I am having an Accuracy International rifle built out and putting the Nightforce 8-32 x 56 NXS on it and have been looking for good ballistics software. I know I am going to shoot the 220 Grain Black Hills ammo, and that ammo isn't on any of the applications I have seen so far. Any suggestions or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
