I am looking for loads for a Rem 700 LSS (26" bbl) in 338 Rem Ultra Mag with Nosler 200gr BT's. Primary use will be long range deer hunting, 350 - 500 yds. Prefer Hodgdon Extreme powders BUT I am open to any good loads. Thanks HL

Try the 225 grain AccuBond it has a much better BC.Try H-1000 and you should be able to get 3050 plus maybe 3100 fps

Im pushing the 200 gr nosler bts with a stiff load of H4831sc, running around 3400. Its impressive on whitetails to say the least.

I like H4831sc, used it with the 180gr BT's but was disappointed in bullet performance - at 3450 it seemed to act more like a varmint bullet - got a good hit at about 200yds, deer went down kicking but jumped up and ran 70 yds, never found any blood, lost in heavy cut over, found 4 days later. I am hoping the 200 gr BT's perform better. What charges of H4831 are using . Don't know if I need to push 3400 but would like a good accurate HV load for the LR trajectory. Thanks HL

I also shoot a M700 LSS in 338RUM.
200 gr Nosler BT
RL22 90.0 grs
R-P Case
Federal GM215M Primer
Best 3 shot group @ 100 yds .325"

You might want to consider the 200 gr Nosler AB.
