Not generally a good idea, IMO.

However, I have carried two different loads (and probably will again) on the same hunt for the same animal -moose.

Junk Load #1 is some 250 gr Sierra GK .338Mag loads just thrown together without workup which proved out at about .5 MOA. By the time I got done messing around, I had 4 rounds left.. Used one since unnecessarily as it turned out at 140 yards. But I did write that load down! I've carried the other 3 several times since in case I get a shot in excess of 300 yards.

Besides that, I'm currently using Junk Load #2, also thrown together without any work-up at all. 250 gr. Hornady RN. MOA, but drops like a rock at range.... I have a life-time supply of those- about 30 rounds left. Wrote that one down too.

The Hornadys are 2 inches high at 100, the Sierras about 5.... smile

Of the 22 moose I've killed, only two have been over 100 yards, the farthest 160.

I got 'er covered!
