I recently posted about looking for a 375 ultra and was helped on this forum. I had a discussion recently with an individual about the 338 calibers. Thought I’d share some thoughts...
The 338 lapua using 250 grain nosler bullets and 86 grains of rl22 gives 2941 FPS per nosler number 8 manual.
The 338 ultra mag using the same 250 grain bullet and 84 grains of rl22 gives 2920 FPS per the same manual.
Why would you pay about double to get a 338 lapua when the 338 ultra gets the same performance?
Let the screaming begin! Lol!
