Has anyone used these bullets extensively in the .338 version? I've had great success with the 150gr .277 hot-cor's and the price is RIGHT. I will still trust the TTSX and partitions when elk hunting but for general target use and black bear and whitetails how do these bullets stack up? At $19 a box I can shoot them more often that the TTSX and Noslers at nearly $1 per bullet.

I like them in my 338-06 @ 2800fps but they are soft & will likely fragment @ impact vel. above 2700fps. A good deer/antelope bullet, but to lightly constructed for 338winmag vel. IMO.

I have hunted with a .338 WM long enough to know that a 200 grain bullet like the Hot Cor will ruin a lot of meat on deer sized game when driven to .338 Win Mag velocities, but it will certainly put their nose in the dirt!

On their web site, Hodgdon claims that H4895 works for youth loads at 60% of max. Anyway, using their info, perhaps a reduced load to about 338 Federal speed would be great for deer and hogs with the 200 gr speer.

I really want to try it, but if you beat me to it, give us a report.

With my 338 Ultra Mag it likes the 225 Accubond
It will put them all into a 3/4" at 200 yds.
I don't see anything wrong 200gr Hot-cor.
