338 Federal

Just got myself a Kimber Montana in this calibre.
What is your favourite recipe? Does one just use the 308 case and pass it through the 338 Federal die? Tom

Gorgeous rifle right there..I'm jealous .

.308 cases jammed into the .338F dies work perfect.

Try 200 grain Hornady SST's and work up to 47 grains of 8208 XBR or H4895.

Those 2 powders are the only ones I've used in my .338F and they work great!

46 grains of Varget behind a 200 gr speer works fine..try some rcbs neck lube when resizing..reduces the stress.
