I just worked up a new load for a 338LM after my Reloader 33 dried up. The problem is that the cases are now for shit and the other headstamp I have on hand is 31 grains lighter. PPU vs. Hornady. I'm not typically super anal about case weight but 31 grains seems like a big enough difference to change things up. Does anyone have practical experience with this kind of thing? What was the outcome? I will be ordering more cases, but I still want to be able to shoot what I got too. Thanks in advance

31 grs difference is a very very large difference, even for a 338LM. It's not unusual to have some difference from one headstamp to another or even from one lot to another of the same headstamp. I've not got any experience with any 338's, but it's like with my .308 when comparing PPU brass I have weighing 175 grs to Winchester brass weighing 157 grs. That difference in weight translates into a substantial difference in case volume (volumes for fired cases) requiring very different loads. With different loads required, one had to do a new load development. . .especially when a new/different powder is involved.

Here is data from Peterson Cartridge Co. for some .338 cases they produce and you can see how case weights and volumes can be different:

Good rifle, I hunted with my mesa .300 win mag for a good while before I upgraded the stock to fit me better. It always has shot good straight from the factory.

When I get home, you will get an order! Thank you

Every time I see "New" on this thread i jump in thinking "Okay, finally some news about Vudoo..." But... no..."Tractors..." Gotta love the 'Hide...

I guess that you could say that there’s no news to give Vudoo any “traction”. So far I’ve only seen detractors.

The Red Wings and Avalanche rivalry has to be one of the all time greats. There was some great hard nosed hockey played between those teams back in the 90s.
