Rigbymaster - sized down .338", 225 gr. spitzers (or noslers) might be just the 'ticket' for long shots at appropriate game. The 200gr. Nosler BT. has an exceptionally thick jacket for shooting elk at high speed from a .338 mag. At .333 speeds and drawn down, it should penetrate even better.
The Lee dies are order vis a phone call or written order. They are not listed on their web site.
Thanks Daryl.
Lee might be the way to go.Thanks!!.
BTW. If the good folks here on the forums wants to make .333Jeffery bullets, the .30US carbine brass fits almost perfect for the .333"dia. With a minimum of sizing, one can size the jackets from there. I have thought of finding spended cases for the .30US, size them, and fill them up the lead.
eljefedouble!.
Regarding .333cal vs. 338cal barrel I was in the same dilemma. The thought of choosing a .338cal barrel seems the most logical choice, because of the great bulletselection already available, however I went for the correct dia for the jeffery, which I haven`t regrettet. One must say to himself WHY the jefferycaliber to begin with?. Its the looong bullet in a sexy package that really appeal to most gunbuffs. Buying a 300grain bullet in either .333cal or .338cal cost the same anyway(here in Denmark they do). Another thing is, it is important to remain loyal to the original thought and ideas, aswell as to the originallity of the project. Any architech would say the same thing. Satisfaction follows!.
PS: From where I decided to have a .333jeffery rifle 5 years went. 1 year to find a barrelmaker, 2 years for the barrels to arrive + 2 years on the gunmaker to finish.
