Has anyone had any experience with these on game? I know that with the X bullet you can use a lighter than standard bullet, but is this pushing it? I ask because my dealer got two boxes of them over a year ago and I could get a good deal on them. They would be used in a .338 WMag.

It probably boils to whether your rifle shoots the things or not. I have never owned a rifle that I could get to shoot Barnes X bullets. I know others have but they havn't worked out for me. I would invest in one box and if that works out then pick up the other one.

I'll be cranking them out of my 340 Weatherby at about 3500 fps this year...maybe sometime during the upcoming season I can let you know.
