Am looking for a cheap practice/light game hunting bullet for a .338-06. Anyone try the Speer 225 gr Deep Curl .338 rifle projectiles?

There not that cheap! they are a Speer premium..shoot the Sierras, the 210, 225, 250s are the least expensive and as a matter of fact they work quit well on deer and even elk..Lots of local friends use Sierras on elk in their 338s and 375s

I shoot the 200 gr Hornady SP in my 338/06. nothing wrong with that bullet either.

The 225 Gr Speer DC shoots great in my 338 RCM with RL 15 under 1/2 inch on
2 loads.

For a cheaper bullet I use 200 gr speer hotcors. I use that is deer, caribou, black bears, ect.

If you want a 225gr the Speer DC is hard to beat at around $16.95. Grafs also has the Speer 200 at the same price.

I happen to shoot Nosler 2nds in mine. Shooters Pro Shop has the 180BT for $17.95 and Accubonds for $21.95. I catch them on sale and in stock and stock up with several years worth. The shipping is basically the same for 1 box or 6.
