I was thinking the same thing, 160gr are to light in 338, but in a moment of weakness I was tempted. The rifle is a Weatherby ultra-light and does not shoot anything over 210gr even remotely well. I was hoping it would shoot the 225gr Nosler or Barnes but no luck, 2.5 inch groups. It puts the 160gr Barnes TTSX into one ragged hole. The 210gr are more like a 1.25 inch group but that's fine.

Thanks for talking me out of the 160gr load folks.

Probably has a different barrel twist designed for using the lighter projectiles.
