[QUOTE="PDRENNER, post: 1228556, member: 35663"] I have a 338 GIBBS with 26" 1 in 9 twist. With the verious 200gr bullets I get great groups ( about 3/4" or better) at the slower vel. of about 2600 - 2650, that is plenty for the Whitetails. But when I get to the Elk loads (210 N PT. or the 225 N PT) at near max vel the groups open to 1.25" to 1.50". For the life of me I can't get the Elk load groups any better. I have used several powders and IMR 4320 will get me the best groups at 1.25 to 1.50. The 210 Nos PT I start at 2922 fps while the 225 Nos PT starts at 2824 fps. Am I correct, I should be able to get better groups with my hunting loads? Any thoughts on my problem is appreciated. AIRBORNE [/QUOTE]
