Default RE: 30-06 for brown bear

Loads for big bad brownies in the .338 Win Mag will include the same recommendations as the .30-06. Find a good bullet first. I strongly suggest one of the bonded bullets in 225 grain or 250 grain style. Hornday' s round nose bullets however are a well kept secret.....they are a fabulous bullet in performance. All in all I like the Swift A-frames for the task.
Loads for 225 grain bullets might look like 71.0 grains of H-4350 to get 2800' /sec. Loads for 250 grain bullets might look like 74.0 grains of RL-19 to get 2700' /sec

Either way, the .338 is one fine big game gun and will serve you well elk hunting as well.....GREAT CHOISE
