Little help please!

I just got some 200gr BT's fopr my .338 Win Mag. Anybody have some load data that they can share with me. I have a Elk/Deer hunt coming up and I want to carry both the 200gr BT's and the 225 AB's.

goosehunter,

IMHO, using different loads on a combo hunt can lead you into trouble.
Unless you luck out and get both loads shooting same POI, you might end up with the wrong load on the wrong target.
The 200 gr BT will work on Elk but the 225 gr AB will work equally well on both Elk and deer.

In my 338 RUM, the 200 gr BT and the 210 PT shoot pretty much the same out to 200 yds. I use the 200 gr BT for target shooting and the 210 gr PT for the bigger stuff.

Regards,

I agree w/ jd, pick a load & use just one. It would be hard to beat the 210grNP as an all round deer/elk load. I use it in my .338-06 w/ great success, only recovered one from dozens of animals, many the size of elk. Try H4350, IMR4831 or RL19 under the 200-210gr.
