Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What's Your Favorite 338 Winnie Bullet?

I'm piling on here and readily admit I am a dangerous (know it all) poster because I have killed exactly one animal with a 338. Somewhere along this thread they were asking for pics so I thought I'd contribute. With apologies, this is from a previous post in the elk hunting forum detailing a successful hunt with my late 60's vintage Sako 338 that I rebuilt, using factory Federal Premium Nosler Partition 210 grain. To say I was pleased with the performance would be an understatement. He hit the ground from 110 yards and I only put a finisher in him to put him out of his misery. He never moved, but was coughing up blood, etc as I got up to him. I dug the 210 grain bullet out and the terminal performance blew me away. I've killed a ton of game in the past, but this is only my second animal taken with a factory load. So far so good with this rifle. Now that I have been able to find some Redding dies, I can work up some loads and improve on those 3/4" groups it was shooting.
