[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1839479, member: 109862"] it certainly can change pressure greatly to do this. Case in point, when I was new-ish at this, I discovered my max load for 208 amax in .300 win was over max(Stiff bolt) with a 200 grain wood Leigh weldcore. Even though it’s a bit lighter, way more bearing surface and more importantly much thicker jacket. Match bullets have thin jackets that do not resist engraving and thus create pressure as much as “hunting” Bullets. If your only gripe with Sierra match kings is a failure to open up I’d suggest Berger or a tipped match bullet, hornady eld m comes to mind, not sure if Sierra makes a TMK for 338” but that’d do it.
