Who Needs Match Bullets

These bullets shoot as well as my match loads in my .338 Ultra Mag they ain't cheap but well worth the price

Nozler 338 caliber 265 grain LRAB

By Mike T. on Feb 02, 2018
In my experience, really long ogive bullets with really long boat tails can be finicky about neck clearance in the chamber.
This bullet has proven to be exactly that.
I've shot up 250 of them trying to find a recipe that produces less than a half MOA.
I was using necked up 30-06 Winchester brass to 338-06 and couldn't keep from getting a couple flyers with every 5 shot group. My chambers throat is cut to accept an OAL of 3.70 with a 300 gr Noz Accubond.
I tried every feasible powder with all different primers and couldn't stop the flyers. The best groups had a cluster of 3 overlapping with 2 flyers an inch from the cluster.
I finally changed to Norma 338-06 brass because the necks are thicker and far more uniform in thickness. My chamber's neck measures 0.372. Norma's necks are 0.014 thick. So .338 pluss 0.028 equals 0.366. That leaves 0.006 chamber neck clearance. THAT ELIMINATED THE FLYERS COMPLETELY!
After that it didn't take long to tweak a load to good long range accuracy. Necked up "LAPUA" 30-06 brass works just as good at about half the cost if ya don't mind the 06 head stamp.
This bullet looses most of it's weight on impact velocities above 2300 fps, so to use it at close range on moose sized game is not advisable. A 2600 fps muzzle vel, shot into clay at 500 yards yields a 150 gr mushroom consistantly. At 100 yds into clay it yields 120 grains.
A 700 yard shot on a facing away whitetail this season left her standing about 15 seconds before she dropped. I was downwind of her, she probably never heard the shot. It yielded a 210 gr mushroom. It took out the last 3 right ribs, the right lung, the top of the heart, through a foot of neck muscle, and slid under the hide to about 10 inches from it's left jaw.
At less than 100 yards two other deer got one through both lungs right behind the shoulder, and after skinning both of those, a golf ball would drop through both sides of the ribcage without touching. Both shots blew lung fragments 15 yards out the other side. They both ran 25 yards gushing blood out both sides and dropped.
I have a 338 win mag, and a 338 rum that shoot Nozlers 300 gr Accubond at 1/4 MOA. The 300 holds it's weight much better at all ranges. I think I'll stick with that for both those rifles. This 265 grainer is just to soft for higher velocity.
The load I settled on for the the 338-06 is ** grains of h414 with a federal 210 primer. It comes out of a 9 inch twist, 27 inch shilen barrel at 2600 fps. That relates to 2500 ft lbs at 500 yards and almost 2300 at 600 yards. It shoots 3 tenths MOA.
This bullet's BC is close to what they claim. Sighted in dead on at 100 yds, it hits 600 yards with 4 mills. Thats an 88 inch drop. 500 yds is 3 mills, 400 yds is 2 mills, and 300 yds is 11/4 mills.
I might consider using it for elk, but not for moose, and most definatly not Buffalo. I really like it for long range coyotes.
