338 win mag

Well I got the rifle all set up and I hit the range and that thing is awesome!!! I'm shooting right at  1" groups at a 100 yards but I hope to tighten that up a bit with some more time with the rifle. I also would like to shoot it at further distances to make sure im good with at all ranges. I'm excited to shoot a bit more then get out and try and take my second bear of the season. Thank you guys for all your feedback.

That's great to hear. You have a shooter in a versatile caliber.

I like ABolts but you may want to get a limbsaver on it

It already has a pad on it and it seams to work good enough for me. I have never used one, does it make that big of a difference?  Or are you talking about the one that goes on the barrel?

A Limbsaver is a brand of recoil pad. If you don't have any problem recoil-wise shooting the gun as is, it is little value.

I think you are thinking a Limbsaver barrel de-resonator. I put one on my .338 win mag and played with many rounds with and without the de-resonator and was skeptical but it pretty much tightened each group up by about a third. I've tried them on other rifles with similar results. I would definitely try it.

Might have to look into that. Shot the rest of my first box of hornady 200grn with consistent results, now shooting Barnes ttsx 210grn and it has tightened up ever so slightly. Either way very happy at this point and I am taking it bear hunting tomorrow morning!!!

Rock on!

I have had one of the stainless stalkers with the Boss for years now and it is a kick butt gun!  I have taken Elk and deer with.  I killed a cow elk a few years back at 485 yards and dropped her in her tracks..... not many guns I own could do that.

I used the Nosler 210 partition for years with great results from moose to blacktail. It's my favorite cartridge.

225 Gr TSX fan here.

I agree, probably won't find a much better elk cartridge. I shoot 250 grain Barnes TTSX out of my 340 Weatherby and they shoot great! I'm not a huge fan of the A Bolt, but they aren't a bad gun. If you need to know more about the 338 WM just look and see what Dave Petzal has to say about the cartridge.

Great round I load up 225gr accubonds and shot all general season game animals in the state with it. As for a bolt files I don't like the stock shape  they seem to kick harder then other rifles because of it.
