Like my previous post regarding 458 WinMag ammo, I am now looking to put together a list of all currently available factory options for 338 WinMag.
I've been doing some reading on the history of the cartridge and see that once upon a time Winchester offered 300grain cartridges, and even 270 grainers were available.
Today it looks like 200gr, 225gr and 250gr are the most common weights with a few others like 185gr, 210gr and 230gr thay are also available.
I've picked up a rifle in this cartridge as a "do it all" all purpose hunting platform.
What would be some stand out loads for lighter game (white tail, antelope)?
Medium game (Black bear, caribou, elk)?
Large game (Brown Bear, Moose, Bison)?
Best long range option?
