Hello first time poster here. I usually post over on 24hour. Anyhow I asked this over on 24hour and nothing. I need QL help with a 338 WSM, using RL26 with 250gr Partition or hornady. Also 225 nosler AccuBond and 230 eld-x. I measured the case volume with water I got with ww cases 80.5 of water fc cases 80.3 of water. These are 300wsm cases. Thanks appreciate it.

Interesting cartridge, what kind of velocity are you expecting?
Welcome aboard by the way, these are all good people here. Except Scotty, he doesn't own an 06. (Y)

I currently shoot 200 Accubonds out of it. But want to try 250’s in it.
 
I really like the 250 AccuBond. I've taken at least 10 elk with that bullet from 30 to 480 yards. It also gives me sub 1/2 MOA accuracy. It's pretty tough to beat as a hunting bullet.

With the 225 grain AB, you might find a better powder included in this list:

Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63250 psi, or 436 MPa
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.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

2 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Cool cartridge. What sorta build is it?
Click to expand...

Model 70 stainless featherweight that was a 325 wsm, kind of a shame not too many stainless featherweights left the new haven plant before they shut it down. Anyhow I had it rebored by JES the original bore looked like a railroad track. Whoever hammer forged that barrel must of found out Winchester was shutting the operation down and no longer cared about quality.
 
Nice, that sounds like a perfect set up. Should be some decent room in the magazine to seat the bullets out a bit as well.

Interesting rebuild. I have a 325WSM stainless featherweight that was among the last turned out by the New Haven plant. I am fortunate, I suppose, as mine has given me yeoman service. It has accounted for multiple moose and elk, black bear and deer. It has been one of my favourite cartridges. I thought I wanted a 338 WSM, and I may still build one, but not on this rifle. It is true that among the rifles turned out toward the end of the days of the New Haven plant, QC was spotty at best.

I need to clarify not too many stainless featherweights in 325 wsm left the new haven plant mine is a high 7 digit starts with 3xxxxxx.
I also have a 325 wsm in a extreme weather. It loves rl17 and 200gr partitions.
 
Sounds as if we have rifles produced about the same time. I run 200 grain Nosler PT and 64 grains of Big Game for 0.3 inch accuracy. It does work well.
