.338-06 Build Completed

[mtmuley]

He’s got quite a few heavy 338s. The tipped 267 shot well in my 338 RUM, but thinking a tipped 250 would be perfect.

I guess I never paid attention to the .338's. Haven't loaded a .338 in a long time. mtmuley

Sweet looking build

I saw those posted the other day - curious to see if they end up making a tipped 240-250 gr. I'd probably load them in my 338 RUM. The 267 shot great out of my rifle.

I don't have a 338-06, but it was on my list for a while. It'll thump game for sure!

Man, that 210 is so tempting for my 338-06, but it simultaneously makes me want to sell it and build a 338-300wsm. I hope the .488 G1 that .250 G7 converts to on the 210is correct. The .611 G1 its on the 225 Etip that I've been shooting makes for a really effective load.

Hammer lists a 220 HHT as well - might be worth trying!

I know this is a typo but if it were true then holy chit

Roughly the BC of a Polaris missile.

Yeah, was supposed to be G1. Still crazy high.

Thanks Doug. I'm not opposed to the 185s but I just happened to get my hands on the 210s first.

If you are hunting elk I would stick with the 210’s but for mule or whitetail deer the 185’s may flatten your trajectory.

Going to split the difference and try the Hammer HHTs in 190gr. this year.

Try them and report back because I’ve been itching for a 338 RPM just to use those. Your experience may be the deciding factor

If anything like the HHTs in other cartridges I've loaded, they'll be fast and stupid accurate. Hoping that Hodgdon will bring in a shipment of H4895 this spring. If not, I'll load them over a health shot of Varget.
