Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good 338 Federal loads

ATK probably doesn't want to field the Speer 185 because, sure as a dumba$$ will be a Dumba$$, somebody is going to stoke one into a 340 WHBY, or a 338RUM and then bad mouth the bullet because it blew up on an elk shoulder at 45yds. I'm personally satisfied with the current offering from Nosler & Barnes, & the Speer 200 Hotcore. The weight range may be a bit narrow by common standards, but then again, within that range there is an outstandingly solid choice of excellent bullets.
