[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 837203, member: 68226"] You have ran to the point of no return. Hence the minimal velocity gain after adding more powder. H1000 can not be beat for this cartridge. If you want to save money then get some SMK 338 bullets, H1000, WIN Mag primers and work up. This will ALWAYS give the best groups in the Savage. (Make sure barrel is clean) You can play with seating depth once you establish your sweet spot. Typically work at max COAL. And get to max pressures and back off 2 gr powder. If you really want to hit the power in the 338 take it to a smith and make it a 338-378 Weatherby..A easy 150 to 200 fps more, rl 25 will put a 250 gr pill to 3250:) [/QUOTE]
