Mule Deer,

I saw on another thread you now favor lighter bullets in the .338 win. I’m looking at 200-210 grain loads for a dedicated plains game rifle. The rifle currently has a 26 inch barrel but Im considering cutting it back. What are your thoughts on 210 partition, ttsx, or Scirocco II or even 185 tsx for that purpose? I’m also wanting to stick to the most temp stable powders since I will be working up loads in PA in the winter/spring. Ive always used H4350 in .338 with lighter bullets, have you tried RL16?

I know a lot of people think anything less than a 250 in .338 is a waste, but I don’t think they are optimal for a 1 rifle pg hunt.

Thanks.
