What to do with another Siamese Mauser

I have bought a few different 338 projectiles.

Left is 225gr PPSN Woodleigh
Middle is 250gr RNSN Bertram
Right is 300gr RNSN Woodleigh
It is going to be interesting if 1:10 twist can stablise the 300gr Woodleigh. That is one very long projectile, no wonder the 300gr in the 333Jeffery was renowned for penetration.
I am going to use the Bertram 250gr RNSN to fireform the cases as they only cost AU$1.00 each.

I bought some of those 300gr for my 338/06 but haven’t loaded any up, was for a self guided African hunt but ended up using my 9.3x62.

We were using Winchester 338Win factory loaded 300gr cartridges on the Buffalo for the meat works in the old days, we had to head/brain shoot them but it worked well on chest shots to if it came to that.

Yes those Bertram slugs are cheap, I bought a heap of .416 & 480gr .458 bullets for load development & shooting practice, I’d not trust them on DG !!
