Anyone here with any experience/info on the 338 JDJ#2? I have a 309, but just picked up a 338 #2. Just looking for any experience, load data, and if possible a set of dies!
338 JDJ#2 info, data, dies?

Don't have dies for sale, but I've used it a very long time. PM me & I'll let you know what you want about this great round. (Killed a elk in NM at 352 yds. with it when the guide said it couldn't be done!)
SSK firearms has the dies in stock and also has load data posted on their website…….. sskfirearms.com

I have an encore, forced me to get into reloading. Contact SSK they have load data and dies. Use a chronograph, I am only half way up the powder charge list and am hitting max velocity (2350 fps) with the 200gr SST's. Also look for the contender specific handloading books and 6th edition hornady has 338 jdj#2 loads. I would love to find data for lighter bullets specifically the Barnes 160gr.

Here you’ll find information from previous Handbook editions, with reloading data for seldom-used cartridges that Hornady will no longer be developing. Please be aware that the information here has not been updated for new bullets or current powders....

I ended up ordering a die set from SSK, we'll see if I can get a load put together before middle of October-If not I'll hunt with it next year!

I have the die's for the 338 jdj #2 to reload for my friends TC. I have been wanting to get one myself from SSK. Let me know how it shoots.
