[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1581021, member: 106464"] The Hornady bullets will not penetrate at 338 RUM velocities. I've had failures with the sierra and Hornady, shed jackets, etc. Best all around are the Barnes triple shock, probably 225 gr tipped in your case. They are extremely accurate and absolutely reliable. Load them about 0.06" off rifling and you can get around 3100 fps if you load to an overall length of 3.58". My most accurate loads were with Norma mrp but you can experiment with powders in that burn rate range. Good luck [/QUOTE]
