Sure, buy a pound of powder, pour half into the cartridge and hang on[emoji16]

I'll ask the stupid question - why a 210 or 225 grain?
For the 338-378 I'd be looking above 250, probably 285 or 300 grain. You've got about as much horsepower as any cartridge out there so you might as well use it. If you want to use smaller weights, try the 338 Win Mag. :wink: Even with the 340 Weatherby I'd go for 250gr.
Just my $0.02

Fotis,
Look at Retumbo and RL33. The 250 gr AB or PT would be my choice.
Hopefully OU812 will be here shortly to share his load data with you.
