[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 960832, member: 33822"] The 250 accubond is a bomb in the 338 win mag. H4350 has always gotten me the best accuracy within published velocities. Other powders like RL17 and RL19 can exceed published velocities but accuracy typically starts to decline. I've always had good luck with the 250 accubond .015 - .020 away from the lands. I don't recall my max load but that wouldn't do you any good anyways. Just work up in 1 grain increments from a a starting charge and see where the gun shoots the best. For what it's worth, I think the best all-around bullet for the 338 win mag is the 225 grain Accubond. Maybe not as perfect as the 250 in thick forest situations where you might have to bust through some bush, but the BC of the 225 is relatively high, at least compared to the 250, and your downrange energy and trajectory will be better off especially with a higher muzzle velocity. And recoil of the 225 is noticeably less than the 250. in a sporter weight rifle, a 250 grain bullet is a beast! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
