172.0. ".338 Winchester Magnum" by NWD002::BROWNDA (Dave Brown) Fri May 20 1988 20:57

    
    	Another one you forgot, Brett, is my favorite cartridge the
    .338 Win Mag. I know you have already given me some data on this
    off-line but has anyone else loaded up some inspiring loads in the
    225 to 275 gn. range?

      The loads I've worked up for my Winchester model 70 all use IMR4831
    powder, CCI 250 magnum primers, and Winchester brass.
    
     Hornady 225 gr. - 72 grains
    
     Sierra 250 gr. - 70 grains
    
     Speer 275 gr. - 68 grains
    
     None of these loads seem to be particularly stressful in terms
    of pressure, and as a result, case life is very good.
