[elkslayer069]

anybody shoot a 338 win at distance 400 yrds+ looking for bullet type and load suggestions thanks

what do you want to hunt. what twist is you gun.

225 nosler Accubond has a B.C. .550...  load them up to 2850fps...

IMR 4831 works good too.

i shoot honandy sst's, 225gr, bc=.430, 68.7 gr of imr 4831. spits em out at 2850. i will run em out to 500  

[high country]

the new bergers should be out anyday, the bc should be better then .900......300gr in a 338win is gonna need 8.5 or so to spin them though. the smk's should be pretty close too.

1:10'' RH twist im shooting 225gr hornadys with 67.5 grns of H 4831 im good out to 400 but after that it just starts to drop like crazy and i couldve shot 4 bulls at 527 yards last week but didnt want to just sling lead at them

Interesting read on that 300gr Berger.  Link

[400out]

this might be dumb question... but what is the lightest bullet you guys can get for that cal.?

[Woodchuck]

Dont qoute me, but 180's is as light as i have seen 

[400out]

there you go problem solved

[elkslayer069]

yeah same here 180s anybody have an idea how far necked out those new bergers are gonna have to be, will i still be able to use the magizine i know with my 300 win to get them to shoot i had to neck them out so far that i could only have one in the hole and on just sitting below the bolt not in the magizine?

good read, I would be skeptical that a 1:10 338 win could spin it, the rums and edges coud no doubt, but you would likely have to pull the bolt to load it......they gonna be looooong

[Woodchuck]

That's a good question, my magazine is already very tight, i would highly doubt i could shoot em out of mine especially since i am already shooting a compressed load

[high country]

depends n what powder you use, and what the gun likes. you may find that is does not need a comp load with a different bullet.

[elkslayer069]

yeah im already tight with no room in the case for anymore powder i guess ill just have to lay down the cash and buy a box of them and check it out and get back with my results
