Twist rate for 338 Federal?

[Alex Wheeler]

A 10 twist will stabilize a 300 Berger. For this kind of rifle a 10 wont hurt you, but theres been a trend to way over twist the last few years. It does cause tuning issues and bullets get more explosive the more you twist them. Not an issue in a 338 fed but no reason to run an 8 when a 12 or even slower is more than enough. I will slightly over twist stuff for elr but the most accurate thing on earth at 300 yards is a 6ppc and we slightly under twist them.

Good 338 Federal loads

Been scouring the site for 338 Fed loads and found a few, but the one year search limit hinders things. Looking for what has worked for you, or not. Velocities, powders, barrel lengths, etc.
