Reloader7RM, you may want to try TAC. It is extremely fine and dense and thus does not take a lot of volume. I am running the 185 TTSX at 2.88, but it could go much shorter. I can even get the 210 Scirocco II down to 2.83 with 47gr of TAC, and do so with no problem. The other powder that looks very interesting in the 338 Fed is 8208 XBR. Very similar book performance to TAC and a reputation for extreme temp stability (TAC may be very stable too, I don't know for sure). I received a response regarding my email to Alliant about the Power Pro powder. It is 2000MR, and he said they don't have any loads for the 338 Fed and are working on getting it to market. Don't know where the loads on Loaddata.com came from.
Thanks, I will give TAC a try.
I'll probably end up sticking with 200 Hdy FBILs or 200NBTs in my 338Fed. I only hunt whitetail with it, so just about any descent bullet is more than enough. The 200 HDYs give great accuracy, but I haven't hunted with them yet.
