I need to work up some loads for a new 338 RUM I want to take on a hunt soon. I have 225 grain NAB and 210 grain Branes tipped TSX bullets to try. I have RL 25 powder and would prefer to use it. I would appreciate any help/pet loads you can offer. Thank you!

I use RL25 Top grains for my 225 Accubond. It goes 3178 FPS in my 338 RUM. I got my loads from Steves Loads on the web.98grs

103.0gr of retumbo and 225gr accubond gave me 3140fps adn great accuracy. Have tried this load in several rifles and worked well in all.

I have used RL 22 with the 200 gr BT, AB, 210 gr PT with excellent accuracy and velocity.
For the 225 gr AB, RL 25 96.0 grs is very accurate, under .5".

Also consider the 250 gr AB with 98,6 grs Retumbo for an avg vel of 2950 fps and sub .5" MOA. The same load with a 250 gr PT yields avg vel of 3024 fps.
