338 Federal Loads

You can download the new Sierra load manual on your phone for free. They seem to favor Power Pro 2000MR and H4895 for their tiny selection of bullets.

I am guessing Nosler has a most accurate load listed in their data also?

Those would be good starts to compare with what you hear here.

I have a .338 Win Mag. I only shoot Nosler Partitions and Barnes TSX bullets out of that one though. When i shoot it...... Ouch....

 
Thanks ar I'll give a try. I know what you mean I have two 338 Win Mags and once I got my loads worked up they went in the back of the safe. I use the TSX in both of mine
 
I have often wondered about bullets for the Fed 338 cartridge. Most bullets of the .338 caliber are dang hard.

I wonder what the softest .338 cal bullet is?

Seems most are geared for RUM's, Lapua Mags, Weatherby's and such.

Our old Win Mags are almost the slowest of the bunch.

Here is some online Barnes load data. Seems the 160's would be the ticket for short/medium'ish range.
