Rob HaughtLoad data for 338 WM
Hello all. I'm looking for load data using 300gr Woodleigh solids in the 338 WM.
Wanting to use on smaller game to avoid damage caused by expanding bullets on my next Safari.
Any info is appreciated.

You may try avoiding the damage by using a tougher bullet. North Fork can make you up either a CPS or even an FPS to match their soft and it will shoot to the same POI.
I guess non expanding bullets aren't legal everywhere on non-dangerous game, but the small trophy animals are often shot with solids.
I've seen data on the net for a 300gr in a 338, but I don't recall where!
