I have a 338/06 AI with a 1 in 10 twist barrell. What powder and bullet combination should work best? I'm new to wildcating so any help would be appreciated. | ||

I've found most bullets in .338 shoot rather well. Pick the weight you think'll be most useful. Re15 works well in my .338-06, you might start there. Aut vincere aut mori | |||

With my 338 Hawk I have the best luck with RL 15 and H 414 with the 200 - 225 grain bullets. IMR 4064 also worked. | |||

The highest velocity, most accurate load... that elusive combination of attributes, I found was satisfied using H 380.... I use a lot of IMR 4064 and IMR 4895.. Varget also gets honorable mention as does W 748... A 250 grainer with H 380 will give me 2650 fps, in a non AI'ed version of the 338/06... the AI should technically do a little better... I also use regular large rifle primers, not the Magnum ones everyone always recommends...I got better accuracy with the large rifle primers...so I use those... charge is 60 grains of H 380 with the 250 grainer.. so work up, but it should be safe in an AI chamber...a local friend runs 65 grains of H 380 in his 338/06 AI with the 250 grain bullet..He prefers Sierra's..
