So were they the heavy jacket ones from Elmers day or are they the newer ones with the .026" jackets? MB

Solids or softs? The tungsten solids were really great solids.

Exactly--if I wanted to.

Don't see any reason to use anything heavier than around 225 grains in the .338 Winchester these days. (The .338 Lapua is another story.)

Have both kinds of 275 Speers in my collection, the early heavy-jacket and later not-so-heavy. Have been meaning for years to shoot both side-by-side into test media, but somehow testing bullets that are almost unobtainium never makes it to the head of the to-do list--especially when available (and better) bullets work so well.

Interesting...
I got some a couple boxes of 275 speer 338
225 gr. Grand slams,
Nosler 210 Partition
and 225 Hornady Spire pts.
I would trade for something of value....
and brass

Got a bunch of reloading stuff from a widow's sale and I don't own a .338

I have a box full somewhere.

If it ever floats to the top I should sell them.

The 275’s shot clover leafs out of my old model 70....
Never did shoot anything with them though and the recoil was right up there!
I finally settled on the Hornady 225 for all my.338 needs.

Its a real shame that speer made a cheap but very good 338g 275 bullet and as I take it no one was very intro about them and never bought Too much of them!! I have a ton of them because I went to people that where selling out and they where just THERE!! and NOW THEY ARE SCARCE AS HEN TEETH>>WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? TO GET A 275ger

Its very intro as I said before the 338 was made to shoot a 250ger as its meat and potato , then we would go up to a 275, and down to a 225. But the shooting world has DEMASCULATED the 338 as to shoot 185gers!! MMM
