[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1106624, member: 41338"] I find the 338 WM to be very finicky to load for. Try those Barnes 225 gr. TTSX again. Gotta find the right seating depth though. Mine shoots best at a COL of 2.285" which is a big jump. H-414 and Fed 215's. This explains it: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/getting-best-precision-accuracy-berger-vld-bullets-your-rifle-40204/[/url] I pretty much do this for all load workup now. I begin my testing at maximum magazine length. Variance in rough seating depth groups produced a couple groups well over 2 inches and one group dropped in at under 1 inch. That's the seating depth I begin load development at. I could never really get my 338 WM to shoot till I did this, even with a new barrel, stock and bedding. [/QUOTE]
