300gr bullets in 338 Win Mag - 08/25/13
I have a friend (bigfish9685) who seems to think you cannot load 300gr bullets in a 338 Win Mag due to available throat space.
I've been able to find two sources that provide reloading information for this bullet / cartridge combo. One of them is provided from Berger itself. So, my question 24hourcampfire, is:
Can 300gr bullets be loaded in a 338 Win Mag cartridge and safely fired?
Secondly, what kind of performace can I expect from this round? It's obviously not a 338 Lapua, but I'm sure it can still kick some butt with a high BC round. Thoughts?
(BTW - Thanks to Bigfish9685 and our friends for buying me a sweet, awesome 338 Win Mag for my wedding present! I have amazing friends!)
