.338 Win Mag for Long Range?

[appleseedgunsmith]

It's about .030" jump.. and my gun's chamber is throated long too

I believe min threshold for expansion is 1600. So I'm just there at 1000

That sounds like an interesting build!

1000 yds 4" c-c

1250 yds. 18" c-c....I may have jerked a bit. Ran out of ammo, less than 90 rds down the barrel so far. 10 mils elev exactly needed to 1250yds

Ive only seen scenar shot into whitetail with 6.5 but the expansion was not very good, I would not trust it as a hunting bullet especially at 1600fps impact. The 338 might preform more consistent as I've no experience with them? Have you taken game with them?
