There are some tradeoffs when you are shooting some of the larger calibers especially when it comes to lighter weight rifles. You didn't say how heavy the rifle was in your post. Recoil and shooter form are more of a factor on heavy recoiling rifles. Is the vertical comparable to the smaller calibers that you have tested at that same location or does the 338 have more? If so you may need to try to tune your loads a little more. Bullets can also be a factor 1/4" groups at 100 are very nice but that doesn't always transfer to longer distance. You didn't specify what projectiles you were shooting in the 338 or what weight. Would be helpful to have a little more info.</p></blockquote><p></p>
