I have the Vias on several of my rifles, but when I want to shoot without the least amount of concussion, , it is a Gentry.

IMR 4350 has worked good in my rifle. I have taken a few elk with the 210 nosler and they didn't go anywhere but down.

4350 was standby in my Sako 338 with the 210 nosler 13 elk all one shot and down.

I get 3000 and change using 70.5 gr Imr 4831and 225 hornady. Rifle is a ruger hawkeye. No muzzle device,a pachmeyer shotgun decelerator mitigates felt recoil. Most accurate rifle I own,shoots .3 moa

My 338 Win Mag was originally stocked with a Ramline stock with the solid plastic butt pad. I called it Subdural Hematoma as it made me see double after a session at the range. Sheared off 2 sets of rings until I added a brake and a laminate stock. It's now a pleasure to shoot. I found R19 and IMR 4350, 4831 and H 4350 to work well with the Bullets your going to use. Just ask the Bull in my pic that was DRT with a 250 grain Hornady Spire Point.

Moosekiller99. I have a pound of H-450 I would give you!

I just picked up eight boxes of 338 dia. bullets from an estate sale. Four are Nosler 210 partitions and the other four are Hornady 225 flat base spire points. These are in older boxes and I don't know if they are interlocks or not. I have never loaded for the 338 Win Mag but I have a new in the box Model 70 Super Grade made in South Carolina. I want to start loading for and hunting with this rifle and wondering if any body has pet loads for the two above mentioned bullets. Scanning the load books RL-19 seems to be the go to powder. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I've used RL-19 with the Horn.225 Flat base but I no longer have the data on this load. I've just started using the new RL-16 powder with good success! I have use IMR 4350 with good success for years too!

The modern powders works so much better. For in your case 210 and 225. I was a 338 Lapua person, but I loaded 338Win for a friend.

Ramshot big game and Hunter were my powders. StaBall 6.5 is my new go to. Hybird 100V is good for 243 through 338. Hard to find.
