338 win mag handload
« on: October 28, 2006, 05:06:36 AM »
I picked up a browning A-bolt stalker in 338 win mag the other day also a set of dies, winchester brass, primers. I decided I did not want to spend alot on bullets to break in the barrel so I pickup the cheapest that they had on the shelf which were nosler 200 gr ballistic silver tips.
I looked in my hodgdon guide #26 and for H4350 their listed max load was 77grs. Sounded a little high to me so I checked their online data they don't list  a 200 grain bullet but the the closest 210 bullet liste a max charge of 70 grains big difference.
My nosler #6 does not list H4350 in their data and I was trying to stay away from adding another powder powder to my cabinet but if I have to I will.
Just curious to what other have been successful with in this cartridge

Each rifle will have it's own preferences, but I have gotten the best velocity with accuracy from 4831.  Start light, and work your way up until pressure signs are noted.
