Reloading 338 win mag

[GoWyo!]

Thanks Dan, 4350 was the other powder I was considering. I'll see how this shoots then if there's room for improvement I'll try the 4350. I'll have to try some of the 210s as well, I'm trying to stick to the lighter side of bullets as I am currently shooting mostly deer with the rifle

Imr 4831 70 grains , Barnes 225 ttsx and 210 tsx. 225 consistent 3 shot .75 moa, 210s only shot one group same powder load at .6 moa. Gun ruger m77 Hawkeye all Weather. This load is above the new max that came from an old publication that’s no longer published on the website.

Reloader 19 is great choice for the .338 win mag, but R17 has proved itself to me to be accurate and give very good velocities across the range of bullets I load.
180-200gr. Bullets are my favorite in the .338, with 200gr. being what I think the perfect .338 bullet weight.

I am reloading some longer bullets in my .338 winmag. With a 3.34 COAL listed for the caliber, would it be safe to use these longer bullets and end up with a 3.386 COAL? If I seat any deeper, I'll be seating on the ogive. thanks for any advice!

Howdy all,

I'm a big fan of the .338 (getting bigger working from home). I've had good luck with Nosler 200gr. BT's and 210 gr. Partitions over VV N165 out of my Sako AV. This rifle has the oem 23.5" tube. I just bought another Sako but in the full stock or Kokotukki AV. It has a 18.5" barrel. I've been scouring the web for loads with faster burning powders and heavier bullets. 250-275gr. I plan on using this carbine on my impending moose hunt this fall. (1 point shy of max here in WY. I'm due! )and grizzlies if and when WY opens the season. So, does anyone shoot/ load for a short bbl'ed .338?

Will it still feed? Will it still fit in your magazine?

Try a reduced load at the longer COAL, and work up.

Depends on YOUR rifle. How far off the lands are you?
