[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 270483, member: 4491"] if it's just a throating issue, set it for the 250. if you use a 300, you can't put as much powder in anyway. as the throat eroads you can chase the lands. and don't believe if you set the bullet forward you'll get a bunch more velocity. just not true. as far as the 250's for hunting, they're not gonna blow up on the surface. smaller calibers yes, but not the 338's. my personal opinion is that once in a while, the cavity behiund the tip gets filled with whatever and these are the ones that can pencil right through. i have nothing scientific to back this up, but i used to drill open the tips to guarantee expansion. every once in a while, i found the cavity was jamed full of wax or something which could make it act like a solid. again, just my personal theory and why.
