.338 bullet choice

[Deputy819]

For use on whitetail I've always had great success with the Speer 225 gr btsp with muzzle velocities @ 2650.

A buddy of mine shoots the Sierra 250gr gamekings with really good results. Groups usually under .75 inches dont know the fps but anything he's hit hasn't gone far.

I'm shooting a 33 nosler more and more-- it is like a 338 win mag +P. I really like the 230 ELDX as mentioned above--about perfect for the 338 win mag as far as weight and shape. we had a lot of trouble getting 250s up around 2700fps in the 338 win mag--just not fast enough for me. with the 230s 2850 is par for the course. I really liked the 215 gameking bullet--if I remember right I'd get a bit over 2900 fps and was a real hammer out of the win mag. if you want to shoot 250s ream to a 33 nobler...I have 2 and they will push a 250 berger/gamekings 2820-2850 fps no problems.

Try the Hammer Bullets.....they're awesome. I'm using the 213 gr Hunter in my 338 Lapua and it's super accurate. I'm taking it on my Alaska mountain goat hunt the end of this month

I bet the 230's would be holy terror on deer. Don't know about moose as I've never shot one. I've only seen a few up close and they are BIG!
If you do as HARPERC, Steve and doug said and try the Hammers, my vote would be for the 213's. I'm using the 236 in my .338 RUM and they are pretty long.

My next bullet in the 338 will be the GS Custom 200 Gr HV at about 3000. Good BC, fast and reduced recoil. I'm using their 200 GR HV in 375 now. The 338 will be longer and have a better BC. Just having too much fun with the 375 right now. http://www.gsgroup.co.za/02hv.html

FYI, I'm pushing the 213 gr Hammer Hunters at 3205 fps in my 338 Lapua. I can get more speed but I have an ES of 5 and it shoots about 0.3 moa. Recoil is light, too

I'm really liking the 250gr elite hunters in my 338/375ruger

Here's the 213 gr Hammer when I was zeroing the scope at 200 yards. The lower were the first 2 shots, then 2 touching were the final adjustment and verification.
I'm not a spokesperson for Steve and his Hammer bullets, but I load them in 5 different cartridges because they are so good. A monolithic bullet with higher velocity, lower pressure, superb accuracy and lethal on game. There may be no perfect bullet, but these are as close as it gets!!

Here's a 4 shot group with the 124 gr Hammer Hunter at 100 yards in my 6.5-284 Norma

Thanks Doug! I get lots of calls and emails from guys with the same results that you are getting. Most guys don't like to post on the open forum for whatever reason. They truly are the easiest bullet, that I am aware of, to get superior accuracy.

Thanks again for posting!

After a little time to digest this. Thank you. This is exactly what we work every day trying to achieve. Both Brian and I despise the idea of producing a product that is less than intended. When we get confirmation that we are achieving our goals it takes a sec to put it into perspective.
