338 Win Mag
#304641 - 31/08/17 10:06 PM

Hello I have a Remington 700 in the cartridge 338 WM and I would like to know that you think the tip Winchester PP in 200 grains for the boar and what bullet would you use to hunt at a distance greater than 200 meters. In general you look like the 338 Winchester Magnum.

Thank you

Remington.

I have had a 338 Win Mag however the only 338 I have currently is a 338 Ultra-Mag---which I use occasionally on elk here in my home state of Montana..in that rifle I am using Swift-A-Frames..

For elk and anything else I point it at, the bullet/caliber combination works fantastic...if I was hunting wild boar, that is still the bullet I would use..as they hold together amazingly well, typically with 90% retention or more...I have used that bullet almost exclusively in Africa and for elk here in the U.S.

Have not used Winchester PP bullets for a very long time..so can not give you an honest assessment on those for boar or anything else.. the last time I used them was out of a 300W Mag on whitetail deer..worked well but again, long time ago and very different animal than boar..

Thanks for your reply. I know that the PP tip has been on the market for many years, I am also aware that the 338 WM cartridge is not the most suitable for hunting in Spain and that with a 30-06 would have been convenient armed. But I read that the 338WM is a great cartridge and I bought the rifle. By the way, how about the Remington 700? I rely more on passive ejector rifles because I did not find another rifle in my area at 338 WM. Thanks again.

I own or have owned dozens of Remington 700's in my lifetime..probably still have at least a dozen or so in various calibers in my safe now.. the 416 Remington I have is a model 700 out of Remington's custom shop from the late 80's ..typically they shoot very well ...many of the custom rifle makers there in the USA use the Remington action and upgrade them ..truing the action, changing the trigger, etc.. from what I have read and have been told by gunsmiths I am friends with, the basic design of the Remington action lends itself to make for a accurate rifle..especially when the action is blue printed and other work done on them.. I have several that have had no work and shoot under 1" with factory ammo..have a select few that shoot half that as well, again with factory ammo..

You do NOT need a controlled round feed like those you would see in a Winchester or others for hunting wild boar..as I said, I have used my .416 in Africa hunting lion, cape buffalo, hippo, elephant, etc with no problems and it is NOT a controlled round feed.. I do have controlled round feed rifles, it just that I personally like the feel of the Remington better so that is what I use..

Personally feel Remingtons quality has slipped through the years however..but that is just my opinion..so, have not purchased a new Remington for several years now..if/when I buy a factory rifle have been buying Sako, Kimber, etc...

AS to caliber, think the .338 is a bit large for boar..but still should work great on them.. I would keep using it...

Thank you Mr. Ripp, knowing that you have used a Remington 700 for dangerous hunting, I am more relaxed. As for the cartridge, I have had no fortune for the moment in the few hunts I have attended. I am mostly shotgun hunter and my pieces are rabbits, pigeons, hares, and partridges. Sometimes I'm invited to some wild boar hunt and then I can take the rifle out to the field. Again very grateful for your attention.

Hi I have read that the 338 Winchester Magnum is suitable for hunting large distances large animals. What do you think is the maximum distance to which this cartridge is effective ?, my rifle has 24 "of cannon and I do not know if it will burn all the gunpowder that contains this cartridge.Thanks again,

Remington.

As far as you are capable of accurately shooting..

Military snipers have been using the 300 Win Mag for years and shooting to and over 1000 yds..

For a 338Win mag you are fine with a 24" barrel..a 26" barrel might give you an addl 50-75fps more I am guessing--with an Weatherby or Ultra-Mag you would need a 26" barrel and a 28 would be even better...

A lot of people where I live use this caliber for elk and moose..it really is a very good caliber for those animals..

So practice, practice, practice...

Best of luck to you..

Thanks Ripp, I agree with you. The practice is everything, because it allows a wide knowledge of weapon and cartridge also the choice of a suitable tip will give us success in the hunt.

Cordially.

It'll kill as far away as you can hit with it. The trajectory is such that 400 yds is probably the outer limit for hitting. I have a Griffin & Howe Model 70 in .338 and the guy who commissioned it had the drop at 200, 300, 400, and 500 yds engraved on the floorplate. For 200, 300, and 400 it lists the drop in inches beneath the yardage. Under 500, it says simply "no":) i guess the figures were based on the 225 grain factory load.

Anyway, if you're shooting at the critters this cartridge was made for, you'll probably be a lot closer than 400 yards.

G'Day Fella's,

Remington, I have owned a new Rem 700 in .338 Win Mag, since Remington first made the M700 in this chambering. I'm very happy with most aspects of this combination.
The .338 Win Mag is a great cartridge, and any factory ammo you can purchase, will be effective on any size Boar you can find, as long as you put the bullet in the chest cavity of the animal.

As to How Far you can shoot animals with it.
I always look at the fact that the difference in the Muzzle Velocity between the .338 Win Mag (@ 2700 fps), and the .338 Lapua Mag (@ 3000 fps) both with 250 grn bullets, is only 300 fps in my rifles.
So given this and the fact that some people shoot game animals at extreme distances with the Lapua Mag......., the Win Mag is only 300 fps behind the Lapua Mag.
Can I please suggest, that you do need to have a rifle that is capable of extremely good accuracy and also be capable of shooting extremely well your self, before you ever attempt shooting at any animal at long distance!

I have never fired factory ammo thru my various .338's (.338-06, .338 Win Mag, .340 Weatherby and .338 Lapua Mag), but only ever reloaded my own ammo for them.
In the case of the .338 Win Mag, I have only ever loaded up 200grn bullets at 3000 fps, and 250 grn at 2700fps.

Hope that helps

Doh!

Thank you very much to all. All your comments are helpful. The subject of shooting at a great distance is mere curiosity. I mostly scoop smaller pieces with shotgun and rifle use little. I only have a 3-9x40 viewfinder so it does not allow me to shoot very far.

A greeting to all and spend good week,

Remington.

Abusing your kindness and generosity, what complementary cartridge to the 338 Win Mag? Although I think this cartridge goes well for everything in Spain and more.

Thanks

The 3-9 rifle scope gives you plenty of magnification for range. On 9 power it will make something at 900 meters look like it is at 100 meters. The limiting factor is the quality of the lenses and their alignment. So for shooting to 300mts you have plenty of magnification.

A straight 4X was all we used for years for all our big game hunting rifles, from 7mm's to .375's. I ran a 2X on my .458 American.

I shot the heads off 34 grouse one fall with that rifle while out moose hunting. For grouse, I was using 230gr. Speer .452" pistol bullets and 18gr. of AL8 powder. Those undersized bullets slugged up and hit right on the lower post of the reticle at 25 yards, which is the range most grouse are shot at, around here. They ran 1,350fps and would make 3" groups at 100 yards, with care, would easily kill deer and black bears out to that range as they were about the same power (little more, actually) as full powered loads in my 4" .44 Mag.

Today, the 4X Lyman All American Perma Center that I have mounted on my .30/06 is all the scope that will be hunting with me this fall.

165gr. SST at 2,945fps will certainly handle my elk and whitetail deer out to 400yards, as well as a moose if I happen across a young one. The 180gr. SST's at 2,755fps strike only 1" lower at 100 meters.

I full expect to not have to shoot past 100yards, on any of them, except perhaps the deer.

A 3-9x40 is more scope magnification than needed for ANY .338Win. Mag.

A more powerful scope will not help you to kill animals at extended ranges (you should not be shooting them at - imho).

Practice with what you have at ranges to 300ayrds, then practice some more from hunting positions - prone, kneeling, sitting and standing - all with AND without resting on objects, like trees, fences, bushes, etc.

The largest scope I have is only to the 10x and the upper end of a variable. Most of my scopes are fixed or variable, with the upper power magnification being 4x, 6x, 8x, 9x or as mentioned 10x.

A 4x scope does everything that is needed on a hunting big game rifle. A 6x adds a bit more.

The modern trend of needing a 16x or a 32x is just because more scopes are made affordable nowadays in such variable.

As for hunting "long distance", do some shooting at say 300 and 400 metres. 400 metres is a long long way away. See how consistently you can hit a 30 cm circle at 400 metres.

If hunting serious big and medium game, anything over 300 metres is a long shot.

A .338 Win Mag is a versatile cartridge to shoot. 225 and 250 gr projectiles for bigger animals. And perhaps some 180 to 200 gr projectiles if you feel the need for lighter bullets for smaller animals.

I would be happy to hunt water buffalo with a .338 using good 250 or 300 gr projectiles.

The cartridge is a one world capable cartridge.

Quite amazing that minor difference.

A .338 Win Mag is a medium length cartridge that does not require a magnum length action. Never heard anything serious about its recoil and blast.

The .338 Lapua is a longer magnum length action. Lots of stories about recoil and muzzle blast. And how it is the most effective long range cartridge in existence ...

Yet all that difference for a 300 fps velocity difference ???

IU know which I would prefer anyday. Bluster vs Effectiveness.

Interesting I have never known the .338 Win Mag as a long range cartridge, more a medium range medium bore effective cartridge. While the .338 Lapua has the opposite reputation.

As companion pieces, you might consider the .243 Winchester and the .458 Win, both introduced in the 1950's like the .338 and both very popular today - especially the .243. That would keep you on the winchester theme and in the same period. The .270 Win and .308 Win are also very fine cartridges, although the .270 is a bit older. Jack O'Connor said that if he could have only two rifles, one would be a .270 and the other a .375. A .270 paired with a .338 would be just about the same thing.

Thanks for your advice. In the end it comes down to practicing a lot. Really for me to hunt is to get as close as possible to the animal to shoot down and give it a quick death. But sometimes by the terrain orography the approach is impossible and you have to make quite distant shots. And there enters the know weapon, cartridge, viewfinder and much practice. Thank you and Happy Monday.

In my .338W I found 200gn Speer a bit too hard for pigs great for bigger stuff! I like the 200gn factory Winchester PP & the 180gn/200gn Noslers the best for big pigs.

Favourite all round bullet is the 225gn Woodleigh at 2800fps.

Thank you very much for your answer, that bullet weight (200 grains) seems to me appropriate for the boars that are in Spain that are not very big. And the Winchester Power Point also seems very suitable for being a soft bullet and has proved its effectiveness for many years despite not being a "premium" bullet. By the way how would work on the 338 Winchester Magnum the Reminton Core Lock?

Thank you,

Remington.

Thanks. Was wondering if there was any issues here. Many Europeans living in restrictive countries choose a multi barrel rifle system because of number restrictions.

Hello, it is a very interesting solution, because in the documentation that shows the ownership of the weapon would consist that you have a weapon with complementary guns. I have an old 16 gauge shotgun with two sets of guns and it's a single gun. Obviously it has the same weapon numbering in both sets of guns.

Not a problem I understood that ie regarding barrels.

Here is Australia, we do not have a strict number restriction though that is slowly changing. I have more than two dozen firearms, rifles and shotguns. No handguns yet, though I can legally buy one or more. Only for target shooting though. It is getting harder and harder as they introduce more and more restrictions and increasingly difficult "justifications".

I have two Mauser M03 rifles with several sets of barrels. Good for travelling as the barrel can be removed. And I have barrels from .222 to .404 for them. I purchased a second M03 so I can have a medium and large bore on a trip or a small bore etc ready to go. Being takedowns they are shorter so also can be transported more discretely.

Same as a double rifle or shotgun, barrel out, the whole package fits in a smaller case.

I also have a Tikka/Valmet double rifle / shotgun setup, with two double rifle barrels, a shotgun set and a couple combination sets of barrels. Again the versatility.

Officially only one barrel needs to be registered with a receiver for a firearm here.

In Spain the rules are too restrictive. And in Europe they want to restrict the issue more because of jihadist terrorism.

The good old straw man, Introduce thousands of malcontents, disruptive, violent people, jihardis and other troublemakers.

Bring in laws to control the "problem" but aimed squarely not on the troublemakers, but on ALL CITIZENS and residents. Disarm them, introduce other restrictions.

In the interest of the false creeds of modern anti-racisn and anti-discrimination introduce laws to protect the evil ideologies of Islam, sexual deviancies etc. Curtail free speech to protect the un acceptable, ban expression of protest, but only against the "racists", "bigots" and "homophobes" while encouraging the extension of evil deviancy and fascistic Islam.

Increase the power of the gov't, increasingly draconian to the majority of the population. Increase the power of the masters pulling the puppet strings of the Presidents, Prime Ministers, Chancellors and Gov't Ministers.

Sorry about the rant. But when understands the truth and what is behind it all, all the inconsistencies become so understandable.

Sorry about the political rant on this non politics forum,

In the end politics really directs our lives. It is impossible to abstract oneself from that self-evident reality. Restrictions are always going to affect the honorable citizens, in all facets of life because those outside the law do not affect them at all. They are outside the rules.

Hello Remington, the Remington 700 rifle I do not like to have the ejector active. I prefer a rifle with Mauser 98 action sporty as my CZ lead. As for the cartridge without seeming for its appearance an impressive cartridge in benefits it is. For Spain I think a good cartridge choosing a suitable tip. The wild boar will remain in its imprint until you place the shot and if you injure some wild boar will leave a good trace of blood. And of course if you are going to Africa you will be served for everything (except the Big Five), including the great Eland. So keep playing the lottery.

Thank you very much "ovny" for your answer. Actually the Remington 700 rifle I own is wonderful. Aesthetically it's beautiful and the shots I've taken with him have been correct.

Hello Remington, the rifle you have is certainly very precise, its action is used to create large precision rifles but its active ejector is not the most suitable to use for example in rifles intended for dangerous hunting. It would be long and cumbersome to explain, plus how I use the Google translator would be even less clear. But I for cartridges dedicated to dangerous hunting would opt for brands like CZ, Ruger, Winchester (the Pre 64) that use passive ejectors.

A greeting

Ovny.

Exactly my thoughts..unf*cking believable ...move in a bunch of worthless turds into your country, then make gun laws more restrictive for those who are paying the taxes...WOW..what a bunch of worthless turds...

I am certain the muslim terrorists will obey any and all laws regarding firearm or bomb ownership???

Sorry Remington for going off on your thread..but items like this makes my blood boil...

Do not worry Ripp, this theme makes us all boil blood. It is sad to restrict the right to defend themselves to honest people and yet criminals can have the weapons they want because to them the laws do not affect them.
