Your favourite loads, please.

Considering 225 grain Noslers or Barnes X.

I have lots of IMR4831, but I'd like to try RL19 or RL22 as well. Open to any suggestions.

Tks, Mike

The load for RL22 which has worked on about a dozen 338's I've had, is maximum of 74-76g, depending on the barrel. Velocity is usually between 2850-2900fps.

My current favorite Win Mag prefers 74-75g of VihtaVouri N160 and pushes it out at 2920fps but it shoots the RL22 pretty well also. If I could only use one propellant for the 338 Win Mag, it would be RL22.

P.S. That's with Nosler 225's and Federal 210M primers.
