I'm new here, so bear with me.
I recently acquired a Browning BAR .338 Winchester Magnum. It will be utilized principally for elk.
I am fond of IMR 4350. I use it for several other cartridges. In researching loads for the .338, I find a very large spread, 68 grains to 74 grains of IMR 4350 for a 225 grain Hornady SST. I prefer to shoot the maximum safe load. Any suggestions.
As an aside, I load my .300 win mag with a Sierra 165 gr. HPBT over 74.1 grains of IMR 4350. I've used this load for years in a Browning BAR with no difficulty and no pressure signs.
Thanks. I appreciate advice and welcome critique.
