Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 338 federal with 200 ftx and lever evolution powder

Has anyone tried the 200 gr flex tip bullets with leverevolution powder in a 338 federal, data needed.

I haven’t seen the 200 Flex Tips, but I did shoot some with 200 Hot Cors. I used same max as published 215 Sierra max (52gn). Could probably go up some if you have powder room.

Thanks for the good info. We are actually shooting a 338 federal rimmed in a 336 Marlin trying to figure the max load witha OAL of 2.60 to cycle easily. Currently using 45gr of Lvr getting 2400 fps 20" barrel 200 gr ftx bullet. Need to keep the pressure below 50k because of the 336 action. Anyway no pressure signs at 45 grs,trying to figure out how to creep up on my max pressure.
