[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 481843, member: 505"] Your barrel is on the fast side not the slow side. You probably have to much twist. Certainly more than I would put on a 338 winchester. 1-12 twist shoots hunting bullets up to 250 grains pretty well in my rifles. In the 338 winchester I have gone to the 185 ttsx for the extra velocity. It makes hits to 700-800 yards fairly easy and will blow through anything in north america at that range. Recoil is light. I am having to use bc's toward .5 to match drops. The bc is way higher than the published .432. The 338 winchester is probably most looked at as an 800 yard rifle tops for most people although it can do more. The 185 makes it shine within that range. [/QUOTE]
