Hello:
I am new to this forum, and was woundring if anyone might have any knowlage of realoading for the 338ULTRAMAG. Hope this is not a woreout topic here! But it is hard to find anything for this round. Any help would be appricated. I found a little information at the Barnes web site. But I have alot of trouble with their bullets fouling in my guns.
Thank You for your time.

I have two and both like Reloader-25 and 250 grain Hornadys or Nosler Partitions. Depending on the powder lot, and whichever bullet, I use about 91 to 93 grains.

***That is a Maximum load!***

But that seems to be where those rifles are most accurate.

H1000 was in second place if I remember right. Retumbo is supposed to be good also.

There is alot of data on the Hogdon site:http://www.hodgdon.com/data/rifle/338ultral.php
The new Hornady manual alos covers the RUMS. Good luck, happy reloading.

Here are some of my favorite loads;
Barnes 225 gr xlc, 100.5grs of Magum, Fed. GM 215 primer
Barnes 250 gr xfb, 88 grs of RL 25 Remington mag. primer
