Reloading My 338-08

[onelastshot]

Just getting started reloading my 338-08. Looking at the Hammer's 213 grain bullet. Does anyone know if I'll have any problems getting 213 grain bullets to stabilize in my 338-08. The twist is the standard factory twist which I believe is 1-10 twist. I know that the 225 grain bullets are too much unfortunately.

Measure the length of the 213 grainer and also measure the twist rate of your rifle (tape measure, cleaning rod, marking pen, masking tape). My .338-06 had a 1-12 twist. Then, with your data, go on-line find a twist rate program, like that on the Berger Web Site, and apply the data. The operation will produce a "Sg" number. The Berger site will specify if the Sg value is adequate for stabilization. My .338, 1-12 twist, shot the 200 grain .338 Hornady flat base bullets very well.
