or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

What loads are you running in your 338 RUM?

JD338
 
Not QL but FWIW here is what I use:

Both the 250 Accub and the Berger 250 Elite Hunter shoot great (under .5moa) at 400yds with:

Nosler or Rem brass, Fed 215M and 89.0gr of RE26. Velocity is 2,980 ft/sec (give or take) in a 26" Broughton 5C bbl.
 
I could never get the 250 AB to shoot but the Berger 250 elite hunter shoots 1 hole with 91g of rl25 and 250g Partition shoots 1/2 moa with 98.5g of retumbo and this is my go to load. big medicine for elk moose and bears.
