[QUOTE="lynn, post: 36764, member: 1479"] Not to throw a wrench in the party here but i got some of the Wildcat 338's and here are my thoughts. 1) The meplat is too large for the caliber ging a poor BC number 2) The rebated boattail has too big of a step which will hurt accuracy 3) The lead core extends all the way to the top of the meplat.If J4 jackets were used this could be a potential problem as jacket stress at maximum acceleration will be compromised. In my humble opinion you will get better accuracy and less recoil using a 300 gr Sierra and a better BC number.The whole reason to choose a 338 over a 30 caliber in the first place is to get that high BC number.I have only looked at the 338 bullets in 2 weights and haven't looked at his other bullets so won't comment.
