338RUM
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.
