[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 588324, member: 505"] I assume the 300 grain bullet since that is a very popular load you listed there for the 300 grain in either 338 RUM or 338-300 RUM. You are at the top end with that load and is max in most rifles. It is a load I used back in 2001 when the 338 RUM first came out and I was comparing it to the 338-300 RUM I had been doing for a couple years back then. As you go higher even in 1/2 grain increments you can get into pressure spikes with severe but inconsistant velocity increases. If you are getting low extreme spreads where you are I would stay there. You can kill about anything in north america as far as you can hit it with that load. You don't need any more if this load is accurate. [/QUOTE]
