Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good 338 Federal loads

An update. I got the itch to try the 160 TTSX out. It has proven to be one of the most accurate loads on my Kimber Montana with AA2230/BR2s. They consistently chrono 3020-3040. Took them elk hunting this year, and while the resulting shot was a chest shot at only ~50yds at 10,600' elevation, it worked very nicely on the bull. Next up deer, but I have no issues sticking with this for elk in the future.

A few quick shots (at 50 yds...max for that indoor range) to ensure it's still sighted in.

Very good blood trail, total distance traveled 30 yards.
