[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1527931, member: 41338"] I've messed around with a 338 WM quite a bit. I've not found the 250 Bergers to do well in anything I've shot in this caliber. Also, off a bench, IMO, 250 grains and up can be very viscous on the shoulder. I personally think the neighborhood of 225 grains is about the sweet spot for this caliber. I've found H-414 to be the best powder I've used and yes I've tried RL-19 and RL-22 as well. Lots of folks love 19 but it hasn't worked out for me. I don't know why but for this caliber, I've noticed significant benefits to doing a rough seating depth test in 30 or 40 thousandths increments. Mine shoots best with .225" jump. Bullet is a 225 gr. Barnes TTSX if I remember correctly. [/QUOTE]
