Blair D Calvin338 Ultra Loads
Would anyone care to share their favourite loads with the 338 Ultra and 210-225 grain bullets.
Cheers,
Blair.

Blair D CalvinIdaho,
Is that from from a factory Remington?
Nice stuff.
As I said recently With my 338 RUM I shoot Speer 200 gr bullets at 3260 fps and I shoot Accubond 225 gr bullets at 3178. At 200 yds the Speer Hot Cor bullets grouped 5/8". The 225 Accubond bullets grouped 7/8". I use RL25 powder
and got my load information out of Serria load manual and Nosler load manual. 99 for the 200 and 98 for the 225. These are MAX loads. Proceed
with caution

Looks like RE 25 is the powder of choice.
