Snap- have you ever had any temp issues ( really cold) with your 76gr R22 load? I am so thoroughly spooked with a (granted, it was only one time) bad experience with R19 so don't use it, but I have a wad of R22 and while I never had a cold weather issue with it ( 280 AI) I did get some sticky bolts when it got warmer. I just adjusted for it. I normally used H4350 with the older Barnes 185 XLC in my last 338. ( I haven't messed with another 338 since for 20yrs, starting back for nostalgic reasons. I used a 338 RUM a bit in the interim) I have an older Ruger "tanger" (Win Mag) coming and I plan on a lot of 250gr load workup for it. I like lighter weight bullets for deer, cow elk, etc, but I always work up a load in any rifle I have with a heavier bullet for "when I really want to thump them", ha. I will even be trying the Woodleigh 300gr later on. Thanks, Rev Jim Knight
