I've found at least 10 250gr loads that run from 2569 to 2645 so it is doable.

Rifle #105 has 6 loads in that range.

Hornady 5th has 2.

Reloadersnest has 2.

Handloader #184 has 1.

I don't get 2600 with my current 19" 338-06 but 59gr of IMR4350 under a 250SPBT gets me over 2500 with no pressure signs. 60gr H4350, same bullet, gets me just under 2500.

The highlighted portion of your post is where we differ. I don't use, nor like, any .30 caliber so the jump from my .284 to my .338 is .054" which is similar to the gap from .308 to .366.





I don't use .30 caliber either. I have a 7mm Mauser and a .375 Holland.
