210 Noslers in 338 Win Mag
Guess I was expecting this to be easy. I generally find IMR 4350 to give decent accuracy in most of my bigger cases, but it just did not produce in my 338 Win Model 70 XTR with the 210 Noslers. I'm gonna try Rel. 19 next. Anyone got some input? I REALLY would like to get this bullet to shoot, but it may be my gun just won't shoot them. This has happened before, don't we all know............

My .338 won't shoot the light bullets at all. It shoots 250gr partitions like a laser though. It's built on an Eddystone P17 action with a 26" Hart barrel. I think my load is 67gr of H4350 if memory serves, I'm at work right now.

I loaded for one 338 Winchester and two 340 Weatherby's. I could not get any bullet under 250 grain's to shoot. The Sierra 250 shot well. I have been shooting some 300 grain SMK's-they will really shoot, and perform well on game(lots of recommendations on the Long Range Hunter web site). Tom.

My son shoots the Nosler 210 with Accurate arms xmr4350 and gets good accuracy. His rifle is a Savage and his groups are usually near an inch.
I don't recall the powder charge but I know he uses CCI 250 primers.

RE: 210 Noslers in 338 Win Mag
Well, thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'm gonna TRY to make the 210's shoot, but that may not work as I'd hoped. At one point in time, it liked Win. 200 gr. factory ammo real well, but after the lot nos. changed, it went south. Thanks for the hint to go heavier. I may have to try that, but I really wanted a little lighter bullet. I'm not out of options yet....

The 210gr. Swift Scirocco has a rediculously high ballistic coefficient, which means it's probably pretty long... maybe as long as a 250 grainer?? Although if you can get the Noslers to shoot then I guess it doesn't matter.
